Nice trackday bike for someone here

Sadly there's not enough money down the back of the sofa for me to afford it

That would be a poor trackbike. Too expensive to crash.Bustaspoke wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 8:12 pm Nice trackday bike for someone here

On track I want to be in the situation where I don't give a shit if I bin it.
Same with my GasGas enduro bike. Binned it big-time third ride.

The CB1300 everyone wants is the one that nobody wanted when it was new.
The late model with the red frame... which I'd have over that one every day of the week.

My Dad had one of them from new, with the red frame. A lovely shade of red it was too.

Why does it need a chain follower?? Is there something odd about the rear suspension? (can't really see it)v8-powered wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 5:04 pm Looks like a Subaru Boxer engine to me?

It does look kind of like the chain needs the guide, to keep it off the swing arm.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 5:53 pm Maybe they made the swingarm without checking the dims properly

CR500 pron.

I've long had a hankering for something like this but the reality is that they're a very focussed thing that wants to shake you to pieces and is hard to live with. Probably best suited to short circuit racing at somewhere like Three Sisters - IIRC when I was racing there around 1990 I'm sure the lap record was swapping and changing regularly between a bloke on a KX500 supermotard and another bloke on an RS125.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Looks like the last day before sleet and other nasty schitt blows in, A definite drop in temps back down to double figures today.
Not a five star anything in sight.
