    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

As long as you do not pass redline, rev it up. Those smaller motors were designed to supply maximum power at high rpm.
 
so basically I need to focus on over all dynamics with my bike and ill have the potential to out ride him in the corners regardless weather he is on a 750 or xs1100. Ive been reading racetech's suspension tuning bible, hopefully this will send me in the right direction as far as suspension goes.
 
67 horse in a single cam Honda 750 is rated at the brochure. They were only 540 lb at first, and I have only ever located one old road test where one of them managed to get out of the 13's and into the twelves. I can find tests where it was outrun at the drag strip by a Sportster. (Cycle Guide 1972 Superbike Showdown) In fact, here is a link to it in my Albums:
http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/album.php?albumid=727&pictureid=4372 The H2 was, of course, quickest in this comparison.

13.7 something in the quarter is a bunch slower than any test of a GS650 you will find.

In '69, they were not as slow, but still slower than the Norton 750, Trident, and H1.
