LOL The Johnstown thread had some V-Rod shots. I'm kicking the idea around of picking up a V-Rod so I have been paying attention to them.

I'm pretty happy with mine, you'll have some fun on it.

The bike in pic #12, is that the turbo? From what I've read it pushes about 175hp. Still won't catch your Busa though...

I saw this guy rding this Spike Bike at Sturgis last year. Pretty wild show with his get up and the spiked helmet.  He caused alot of heads to spin!  I wish I would have gotten a pic of that.

I thought I had a picture of the guy on his bike from last year, but I couldn't find it.  Will this do?

Pic 12 is a super Charger. I don't know if that is a production unit or a one off.

As for my Busa...252 hp is to much for the street. I'm going to hurt myself on it. I'm looking for a new project. Thus a V-Rod. I like pic 99. What the Buell should have been! :2vrolijk_21:

The in-line 6 that's in the Spike bike, is that out of a Yamaha or a Honda? 1980's maybe?

I don't really know for sure.  I just assumed it was a Honda when I saw it, but I showed the picture to a "Honda Guy" who said he thought it was a Yamaha.   :nixweiss:

I remember Honda (CBX) making a six cylinder back in 1978, but a quick search for a six cylinder by Yamaha came back empty handed.

'dood,

You are correct, the inline 6 came from Honda (wide sucker, but a real screamer in it's day).  I'm not aware of anything more than 4 cylinders from Yamaha.

There was one of those at a gas station in NH a couple  of years ago. I couldn't remember what it was.The guy said the toughest thing on that bike was getting the carbs right.

He modified a CBX. That dragon Busa was the wildest Bike I saw all week, even more than the spike Honda.
