If I won the lottery I would be straight on to AC Sanctuary in Japan to build me a one of their CB1100r customs.Such a beautiful custom ride.

 

 

Very nice but I don’t think I could pay a lot for someone to make me a custom, as I’d still have to go changing stuff!

750 GSXR

sorry @Dreamer420 for being rude n butting back in, just wanted to exclaim - excellent bike @RandalMcmurphy

I had a ride on a friend-of-a-friend's, if I remember right, my gsxr600 was a k5/55 (2005) plate, his 750 was a k8? I think it was a 2008 model year. this was in, I cant recall 100%, around 2011? dunno... but man, the lightness of that gsxr750, the way it just 'wanted it', how it handled, its a bigger engine than my 600 but it was lighter, it handled Soooo sweet man... I loved that short ride. defo would get 1 of them if I ever got another bike

it was just so different to the 600, the power, the handling. another level & lighter

Their RCM models are all bespoke one offs. You decide everything on there. Just that a few seem to like the CB1100r they built and wanted one similar.

The 750 is perfect blend of power and weight imo. I had a K7 model and rode it all over Europe. They are just a more powerful 600 basically not like what a 750 used to be.

The new 600s are absolute beasts.Like full on factory superbikes from back when Foggy was tearing it up.

 

That rotary  sounds crazy. Ian Lougher done the TT on a 200 HP  2 stroke a few years ago. Was amazing to hear that noise in the Senior TT again but a rotary would be Amazing. I remember Hizzy winning the TT on a Rotary.

 

Loved Hizzy God rest his soul. He actually lapped Dononington quicker on a Ducati Superbike than Vale did on his Moto GP bike in the same year. His battle with Foggy on the OW01 and him on the rotary us legendary.

 

I spend a lot of time ogling these guys bikes. They only sell the best. Was trying to convince the wife it would be an investment

For he is our God, and we are the people.

 

Im just waiting on a moon howler coming along shouting Sevco at me  Personally I'd rather have our history than theirs and I will leave it at that. 

Stay safe brother.
