Interesting bit of history to see what you guys were talking about when these bikes had just come out!

And obviously the CB isn't going to run a liter bike or a 14 - thanks for the heads up SMFH.
Sighhhh I guess having fun and talking about different types of bikes/riding styles/types of mods is discouraged on this forum.
Wouldn't it be insanely boring if we all rode the same thing? Same way? Same everything? I'll go back to my facebook group where we all have fun, don't take anything too seriously and enjoy our awesome machines - later fellas!

Let me explain...We were way out in the middle of nowhere and he wanted to see what the CB would do against his mighty Rex. We slow down and put them in 2nd and pinned it - the CB stayed neck and neck all the way to 4th when we let off. You could tell he was shocked. LOL in all fairness I was kinda shocked myself!
I started thinking- it would be pretty damn funny if I turned this thing into the ultimate sleeper. Lookswise who would suspect the innocent looking, retro, you meet the nicest people on a Honda CB! And I bet with some simple tinkering this thing could be a little stoplight-to-stoplight screamer.
I was talkin to a different buddy today whose bigtime into drag racing, he put a 40-shot of Nitrous on his gixxer 1k and said it was insane. LOL the wheels started turning in my mind.
You could have a ball on this thing with a new airbox, free-flowing exhaust, PCV (with 2 maps) and a lil 40-shot. WOW, I bet you could win some money messing with unsuspecting 600s and hopped-up cruisers hahahahaa
What is your plan to deal with the software speed limiter?
