That is very cool......... I would love to hear it run. Is there anyway to download sound on this site?

If I remember correctly, Honda built a 500 GP bike that was tested by Freddie Spencer, but had a tendency to run wide, or pull the front wheel out while heeled over in a corner. Rather disconcerting.

I have always loved that color.

Hey Jay

Every spring the AHMRA brings its show to Willow Springs for a weekend. There are always at least a few, sometimes more, Kawasaki triple H1R's, H2R's, some Bighorns......... Do you live in California? I am sure that you would love to see them run, and I am sure that your bike would be a huge hit there..................

There are lots of great bikes from the '60's and 70's.

Jay's celebration of life will be at The Pavillion on Summit road in Los Gatos on March 23rd. The XJ500 will be there and Lex said he has every intention of starting it. Haven't spoke to him lately about the bike. He's supposed to pick it up toward the end of Feb.

More is posted on the RZ/RD 350 site.
