Knowing nothing of real race bikes, or Honda, or anything whatsoever, it seems to me that an aluminum framed racebike in 1984 would be unusual, in the least.
That being said, to my eyes, this is one fookin cool looking cycle!
Price? If you have to ask, you can't afford, right?
Seriously sweet. Looks like a lot of fun to run up and down the street and maybe swing in to the local Honda dealership to see how they react

It's genuine with Japanese F1 history as a Moriwaki works bike...
A friend of mine owns it and I suspect he's caved under pressure once his wife found out what it's worth.
Last time I spoke to him he had a deal lined up where it was to stay in NZ and go on display alongside the Munro Indian. If I win lotto this weekend that's probably the first phone call I make....It's even better looking in the flesh.

I heard a rumour that Ken Mckintosh is buying up GSX1100 (1135) motors to use in builds of a fleet of XR69 replicas. Someone starting a new/old race category? Anyone else heard anything about it.... No idea if it's true. Probably a load of bollocks

Quite probably a load of bollocks....Ken has no need to make XR69 replicas as his own Bathurst rep frames are probably as good.
If he is buying them I'd guess the Japs he had at pukekohe have ordered a batch of Bathurst reps....
Go and interview him Colin - as "the man from the GS resources"....

No doubt you are right. I didn't see him or any Japanese but I was only there for a half day. Gosh they must have been blown away at the quality of the facilities.

gday guys, spoke to ken back in november, as i was chasing up some bits for my br2, and he still reckons he's flat out doing the norton's, and also talking to croz, at the 2011 phillip island classic, he reckoned the same thing, it would be good to see slighty, on the freeth bike though, maybe next year.

You're all doomed if I hit the lottery first...

gday guys, they are based in england, did you also notice that cam donalds xr69 rep, runs a gsx1100 motor, but the pommie bikes were running 1150 motors, as it's allowed in there rules in uk, where as oz rules are up to 1982 machinery.
