I've got no idea how somebody can get in such troubles. perhaps they had the bikes from friends for a test ride? 

 

  I feel very sorry for them. For the poor bikes, not for the idiots who're acting as hard core bikers. 

I have to ask you how were the harley guys acting as hard core bikers. They looked like the typical Harley rider back in the states over 50 and out for a days rise which went side ways

Oh, and do not goose a Suzuki 750 triple in the gravel parking lot behind the shop. A 500+ pound motocy is not a dirt tracker. 

 

We had a little modded rotary valve 100cc bike that came through for service that was a lot more fun.  The other shop guy who raced Husqvarnas and one of those 400cc Suzuki MX bikes had a ball.

A mate of mine had the red one but regretted later not getting the black style .. That gold one looks a U S spec' model .. Suzuki made some cool colours back in the 70's and the GT 3 cyl range were all good machines not as mental as the Kawa's and always easier going to ride ..

All right, not a motorcycle, but a classic, none the less.  And I thought I had it tough avoiding the stray dogs when cycling through the village...

The heart of the NR project .. Oval pistons and everything needed to go with it to try and give the volumetric capacity of a V8 .. That they actually got it to work was an achievement .. Its just they went down a blind alley with the idea in the first place .. Rare as chicken teeth it is said that they lost money on every NR750 made and most have ended up in collection's or people's front rooms .. Bat Motorcycles in S London did have one back in the 90's that was for sale .. 

The cyl head is of the NR500 racer which did the development for the engine .. 

750's crank and stuff ..

Edit .. forgot to mention 

Honda hold numerous patents relating to the pistons , rings , bore coating for this engine ..

If I remember correctly they did do a couple of races with it and won? Think you could buy one, was tempted - until I saw the price!

The NR500 debuted at the British GP 1979 .. Two bikes entered and both bombed with one catching fire from what I remember .. H perservered with it for 2 more yrs but its best finish was about 12th at the South African GP before they bit the bullet , scrapped the project and went over to the first of the lunatic NSR 2 strokes for the '82 season ..

My memory is obviously tainted! thought they had won "more"
