The 350 tree: "It was running when I parked it, might need the carbs cleaned and a new battery."

Sweet looking CB550, looks like they might have done some engine work on this one. How did they get the cylinders to poke out at such odd angles?

nice thanks for that that 4 cylinder 350 sounds WICKED

Chicken, this is a simple mod, the cylinders are easily pried outward with a long pry bar, you may need to heat the engine with a torch first.

Awesome, will have to try it. Do you know which pods will work with that mod?

So I guess that makes me and idiot for passing on the $1200 Benelli I saw a couple months ago? Had compression but wasn't running (electrical), had a nice seat on it... No money in pocket.

This guy needs some ad-writing help.

And a guy I know went to look at the bike. Apparently he can't open the gas tank and needed to use starter fluid to get it going. But it's "solid" and he can't himself put in the afternoon's worth of work it'd take to get it running before someone hands him $2.5k for it!

"you could buy a stupid honda cb and put clip on or clubman handelbars on it... hack up a fiberglass "cafe racer" seat and cruise along impressing no one but your local hipsters...or be a man and get an era correct, tastefully modified beast and ride wheelies past the cool posers"

are you serious? someone needs to smack the shit out of that dude

but an R5 will do wheelies, nicely, and will smoke a CB everywhere so he did get that right, but no sense in rubbing a cb owners face in it



and it has PASANI pipes lol

i honestly dont know enough to have an argument (which i dont want to have) but lookin at the quoted hp of the rd350 vs the cb350t its a nominal difference so i dont see how it would be an annihilator of cb's

 

[xb33bsa]

if you get the tune right chambers will wake up an r5 or rd with a good boost in power + they handle a lot better and are lighter in weight
