I wouldn't kick it out of my garage.

My dad has a Honda CBX (classic inline-6) and it sounds DIVINE! It purrs like a kitten

Looks like somebody ran over a pipe organ.

Suzuki Strosphere: $17,000

New silver and yellw riding gear: $550

Valve adjustment: priceless

They should call it the Uglosphere.

I dunno man. There's nothing like seeing six shiny siver pipes dropping out of the front of your engine.

The original inline sixes were awesome.  smooth and strong for the time period.  The stratosphere looks like ass.

heh, carb sync's on cbx's can be a pain in the a$$  :x

Just plain ugly...(the suzuki)

Maybe it's nicer looking in person.

Thanks for the CBX pic though.

Yeah, no $#!7!! Six carbs with like a jillion different syncing procedures. You have to sync the outside cylinders, then the inner two, then the right two, then the left two, etc..., or something like that. It's insane. Also, to get them out you've gotta drop the engine. Do you know how hard it is to drop a 1087cc inline-six-cylinder engine??

use to ride with one, had 6-2 with suppertraps, sounded narly.   one heavy bike and the guy riding had this thing about hitting the lip of the tunnel at about 35 and powering the front wheel up, and holding it all the way down.  seeing that beast in the air in your rear view is frightening

Yeah, my father's has 6 into 2 Kerker pipes and they sound WONDERFUL. The thing is an absolute porker too. Huuuge bike, especially compared to my GS and his FZ1. It's comparable in size to his ST1100, except heavier. It uses a 130/90 rear tire on it, too :lol:!

i took these several years ago.....

George Dillway's CBX 1047 RR
F3 front wheel
VFR 750 single sided swingarm with NC30 sprocket carrier
CBR 900 RR subframe
turbo charged...250 HP
He rode it to the new Carolina Motorsport Park in SC from NC, he used to road race it before the turbo

I dunno what kind of asses you are checking out, but from the ones I've seen.......


...I'd say that the average ass is much more appealing

Or you can put it THAT way...
