Kott Motorcycles - Orange CB750

This bike was built with the idea in mind to potentially emulate what Honda might do with a throwback style bike. In order to achieve this the paint was an almost identical match to the early 70’s candy flake orange. The tank was also given the deep knee cutaways for rider comfort. The gusset style rearset plates were c.n.c cut and fit into the frame at the existing passenger peg frame rail. The oil tank was also a new design that incorporates the 1 and 3/4 cooling hole directly through the middle of the tank. It was shaped in a way to match not only the radius of the rear tire but also to replicate the shape of the rearsets. This is a prime example of the full CB750 cafe package that has no spared expense.

1971 CR750 Replica on Ebay

This cool CR750 replica was finished in early 2010, and has been on display at the Vintage Days at Barber Motorsports Park.

The engine has been modified with CR type profile camshaft, Performance Cycle connecting rods, lightened crank, and lighten engine case… And of cause there has been fitted a set of 31 mm Keihin carbs.
The electrical system has also been updated with a dry lightweight charging system and Dyna ignitions.
The mean looking exhausted system was completed by Swarbrick Racing Competition Exhaust Systems in England.

The suspension has been upgraded with progressive shocks in the rear, and Race Tech fork springs in the front. The faring, seat and tank is from Air Tech, and the oil tank is custom made in aluminium.

NICE!!!

Here is a sneak peak of how it will eventually look in 2-3 weeks from now. The color is still a secret folks, so you will just have to wait for the finished result.... But one thing is for sure, it will be as cool as a Danish winther...

The Honda CR 750 M3 Factory Racer

Hmm…. It seems like all the super cool CB/CR750 ends up in the Dubai desert these days…?

First the Wrench Monkees Gorilla Punch is bourght by some nightclub owner and put on display in a bar in Dubai, and now the celebrated Honda CR 750 M3 Factory Racer is living a new life close to the Dubai Autodrome.

The bike was constructed during the winter of 1996-1997 by Mark McGrew and the M3 crew, at the M3 Racing factory in Northern Minnesota. Mr Eric Charles recently bought the mind blowing CR750, and put it in his collection of historically relevant classic racers. Lucky guy…

This bike has start in such magazines as: Cycle World, Motorcyclist, Classic Bike UK, Cycle News, Classic Racer UK, AMA Magazine, and Mick Duckworths book "Honda CB750". So there is no doubt that this is a real star of the CR750s!

Thanks to the dab hand of French Legend Gilles Chauve the carbs has been given a thorough going over so the bike is now a 100% race ready again.

Rossi Takes Off Stoner In Jerez Race

Casey Stoner was taken off track by Valentino Rossi at the Spanish Grand Prix this Sunday after just seven laps of the race.

"We made a good start to the race and the bike felt good for the first few laps, then the tyres seemed to move a little so we tried to conserve them in case it rained again," Stoner commented. "I really wanted the chance to fight the Spanish riders here in a dry race, so it was disappointing for me that that it was wet.

"However, we were competitive here in the wet and dry and this is very important for us - at a track that hasn't been that great for me in the past. After so much hard work I hate to have a race like this because the team did a great job all weekend and now we go home empty handed."

Stoner also hit out at the track marshalls, as he was extremely upset by the lack of help when his Honda RC212V was stuck in the gravel.

"With the accident, I heard Valentino arriving and I wasn't worried about anyone passing me at that point in the race so I gave him plenty of room. It was a racing incident and there's not much we can do, what is more frustrating is the reaction of the stewards and their assistance for Valentino and not for me, it was unbelievable.

"I want to just get to the next race now in Estoril, where I'm sure we can be competitive again."
