Member Contributer Dutchy Posted May 1, 2021 Author Member Contributer Posted May 1, 2021 Took the Gils out today... And the 'bastardino' I guess taking her to the water's edge put her in the huff.... Close to home she refused to get in 3rd gear... 😞 Something is amiss.... never a dull moment, nor something that cannae be fixed 1 Quote

Member Contributer Dangeruss Posted May 24, 2021 Member Contributer Posted May 24, 2021 I love that bike, best iteration of that model. During my formative years it was an RZ350 (which I have), one of those, or a GPZ550. If you were exceptional you could have aspired to an RZ500 or 500 Gamma, both sadly still out of my price range.

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted June 10, 2021 Author Member Contributer Posted June 10, 2021 "Blow me" takes on a new dimension..... The owner ("a gentleman of age") machined a compressor on it. But a age progresses, he swapped the unit for an electric starter.... To make up for the loss, a special cam was made and something technical with plug and welding on the head... A smaller blower is in the works though... 2 Quote

Member Contributer Grum Posted July 27, 2021 Member Contributer Posted July 27, 2021 Prachtig Dutchy. Very special bike your SP2. Must be a joy to ride. Sadly in many aspects Honda's "Power of Dreams" has become more of a disappointing nightmare than a dream! Apart from one or two, Honda currently has the worst bike selection I've ever seen IMHO!

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted July 27, 2021 Author Member Contributer Posted July 27, 2021 Cheers! But, after 5 years of ownership (following my serious 4th Gen crash in Lithuania on my VFR in 2016) I've bitten the mental bullet and will put her up for sale. Yes, the 139rwHP engine runs perfectly, the Ohlins/K-Tech suspension makes for a planted ride. But I've come to the conclusin that chasing laptimes for improvements is not for me. And to keep her for only a few times a year being a tourist on the track (nothing wrong with that).... And on public roads I do find myself succumbing to doing silly speeds on -seemingly- empty motorways. I know for a fact she'll do actual 285KMH.... 1 1 Quote
douglasthecook Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 Say it isn’t so! I’d buy her, but shipping would probably cost as much as the purchase price! 1 Quote
