what front end was the bike running at 48 seconds into the video ? im fightering my cbx 750 at the minute just wondered what the suspension options are without too much chopping

funnily enough it was from a CBX750!! the frame was raked a few degrees but I can't remember how many.

To answer a question that has come up a few times: after the big blow up, I left everything in the garage for some time before deciding to pack up racing, I then sold off any usable parts and the rolling chassis was sold to a guy in the UK who now Sprints it with a Suzuki motor fitted. After drag racing, I turned my attention to off-road cars and built/modified a number of vehicles that can be seen by clicking the link to my other videos.

"12 years running and the engine finally failed" Make a monument to that engine!!!!!

[FlyingTowball]

don't get the wrong idea, the motor failed loads of times as it was being developed, it was just that the last failure was such a big one and at a time when money was exhausted and we were out of spares too. Developing a motor that very few people raced means that you find out all the weak points yourself the hard way!

The CBX 6 -1000 had a comparable status in the 80's to the one that the Suzuki GSX 1300R carries on today! It is the bike for the riders with BIG balls!

A true legend, and still an incomparable engine to anything build today!

Thx for sharing this!

Very interresting video, nice develepment, impressive figures!

But... please with sugar on top: remove the annoying music!

What's better than listening to a CBX 6-cyl on high revs? :-)

[aaaarrrgggghh]

was all that on a standard crank?

Spent 3 years building my Turbo CBX. The second time I rode it  someone stole it. I miss that bike. Havent had anything like it since. Insurance paid me 2600. on a 10,000 investment. Expensive lesson

@FlyingTowball

Absolute, we did the same in 79'-81',air shifter, water-alc injection, pretty much like yours. Each step up of 15-20psi, the engine failed, good rods bent by 1/2", valve faces sliced like hot knife in butter, parts in the ditch that blew in tests on the freeway, and used the stock fuel tank. Air intake blows off the head.

When pressure got up to 80, the head blew off stripping every custom bolt, and bent the frame.

At least 5 major rebuilds in a month. It hit hard @6500.

Cheers

Notice the equally awesome GPz Turbo at 0:22 :)
