The old CB 750 looks to be in great shape.

Ferret,

Did you ever ride an RE5? What was the rotary engine like in a bike?

[the Ferret]

Yes, Ive ridden one. They were rated as 500s but had power more like a 750 of the time.They weren't sure how to measure the engine capacity. They had a very wierd exhaust note, a rather blatty sound. They burned exhaust gasses very hot and had large holes in the exhaust headers facing forward to catch air and cool the exhaust. No motorcycle mechanic I knew could work on the rotary motors. The early models had a weird cover for the instruments which looked like a can laying on its side. When you turned on the key, the cover opened up so you could see the instruments. Suzuki banked a lot of the rotary, building a special plant to produce them, and the bikes sold horribly. Suzuki almost went under because of it. If it hadn't been for the success of the 79 GS 750, they probably would have.

That's an interesting looking turbocharger on that Kaw Z-1. Looks like it might be a little toasty on the left thigh on a warm day.

You should have seen my buddy's reaction to the Kawi triple
His face went white, he started stammering, beads of sweat appeared on his brow.

He had one just like it even the same color.

He damn near cried when we left
i found a few more pics from the crud run

I had a 67 CL 77 305 Scrambler. My first "big" bike. Loved it. Totaled it when I ran into the passenger door of a 54 Dodge driven by a little old lady who turned in front of me in 1968. The replacement was the then new CB 350 in green and white which I really didn't like as much as the 305.

Hay Ole, If if you go to the Crud again stop by and say hi, I am the the guy with the red CB1100.
