Gotta disagree with that opinion. The CB 750 weighs in a tad over 500 lbs with no fuel. Could be a real handful for a newbie. Just another opinion of course.

Yea, I figured that somebody would catch that. Was it the Nuvi or Novi or Nova engines that are (were) 12's ??
At least you knew what I was talking about.

I just went looking, and thought that they had done at least some V-12's for the more recent F1 engines, but they've only done 4's, V6s, V8's and V10's. The '76 Cosworth Chevy Vega had an aluminum DOHC 4 Cyl.

Novi engines at Indy were supercharged V8's

Yeah, that's why the poke smiley. Primal probably gets better mileage too. And a shaft drive would be cool. But I had to chime in for the Nighthawk. :whistle:

I haven't seen much of anything "productive" going on there. :roll:
