Our own Ton club

Looks like we should have a Ton club on here, not MPH but horsepower. The 100 mark seems reachable with bolt on parts alone.

I will be with you in spirit. I did the ton on my Honda 305 Dream back in 1967. I am not going there again.

I'll be an enthusiastic supporter, although I can't join the chase for now. Maybe sometime next year when Uncle Sam sends my tax return I can get a few more parts like the PC-V to get further along toward the goal.

As close as a couple bikes are now, it's got to be an attainable goal.

They are talking about making 100 horsepower, not running 100 mph.

Are you talking about 100 rear wheel horsepower?

100 mph on the CB is such a non-event it's ridiculous. I went out west yesterday to Palm Beach International Raceway to meet some friends who were doing a bike track day. On the deserted roads I was running well over 100 and the bike was as stable and solid as it is at 60.

Even better: the CB still draws a crowd. People were walking right past $30k Ducati unobtanium to check it out. When I was ready to go there were three guys standing around it with questions and comments. How much, how fast, how many miles, etc. One guy had a BMW S1000RR, which is a stunning motorcycle. First time I've seen one in the wild; I want one of those!

I really wouldn't mind if Honda didn't bring any more CBs to the US. I like having a rare bike!

I'll cheer you on in your quest and I'll enjoy reading about it on this forum, but as for me, I don't want 100 HP and no way am I going 100 MPH!
