Damned H1 used to bend in the middle - like a b... banana - killed quite a few good men due to frame flex.
The 750 H2 was even worse - totally insane machines.
Looked like delivery bikes and went like raving banshees.
I never had the gonads to buy one - borrowed a mate's bike and that was enough.....
I'd like to see those engines in decent boxframe chassis - I reckon they'd still be hard to catch, even with lousy brakes and marie biscuit tyres![Smile](https://cbrforum.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I rode an HD350 on Sunday - boy did that bring back some memories !

Had an RZ500 when I was 18, passed a line of ten or so cars doin about 200kph at the time, as I flew past noticed one of the middle cars was a cop! Learned that day that all the extra work done on the RZ for racing(previous owner) allowed the bike to nearly reach the 'h' on the the speedo (guessing 250kmh it had 240 on the clock) I was faster than the radio that day, the copper did not even pull out to chase me!

Yup , jarvid , those were the days mate ...
I can remember when I could even run the old speed tape's at ballistic speeds and just keep going, because the buggers could not get out of there hiding place quick enough to wave you down ...
I bloody never stopped for those things!!!.....lolol
Ow the memories .... I feel a Barbara Streisand moment coming on here ...LOL

Since we're getting all nostalgic![Big Grin](https://cbrforum.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
I remember being chased on my GPZ1170 (Wiseco high comp) by a cop in a ford escort. His car was only 400cc bigger than my bike![Big Grin](https://cbrforum.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
...My old man was listening to a scanner and heard it on the radio
.
The M4 at 2.30AM was the go. Only the Sierra Cosworth turbos spoiled the fun when they were released. Man, those things were fast!!
Ah, the '80s eh boys??

LOLOL ...
. the cops getting faster was a period of time that I remember all too well ...lolol I lost quite a few licenses over a very short period of time I did ...![Icon Doh](https://cbrforum.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_doh.gif)
and yer , I still do on occasion sit back and reminisce about those days when things seemed much less dramatic that today Dave ..
Doing a runner was hardly anything
, just something to rave about to your mates when you got where you were going ! ![Icon Teeth](https://cbrforum.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_teeth.gif)
... these days it would make ALL the new reports on every media type !!
and you would spend a few nights in the lockup till bail was set I think!! ...

A combination of growing a brain (late 20s I think), a wife and kids, cops everywhere, crap roads and large hopping animals trying to skittle me has definately put a dampener on things...not before time either

+1 Dave, my worked RZ500 was used for drag racing, it only had about 1" travel on the throttle of a 2 stroke so there was no real goin slow(IT was like riding 4 x yz125's at once), till I left the road once, got airborne, saw a tree coming and managed to lean away from the tree but the bike went head on into it, close calls are a good way to slow a young bloke down. I will have to dig up the old photos of the crashed bike scan em and put them on for you all to see.
