I almost bought one of those, 79 I think. It was in awesome shape apart from it needing a new carb. Plus, the person selling it was a douche.

My friend had one with the original motor with a dual barrel webber. He paid $400 for it, motor died 2 weeks later.

My personal favorite is the '71 Honda 600 coupe. Gotta love a car that 4 strong men can lift out of a parking space and place it on a sidewalk.

Here is a Honda Z600 with a Hayabusa engine!

But with a Hayabusa engine, I bet it is a little screeming demon.

That car ^^ seems to have horrible weight distribution. The whole engine on one side and a driver's weight to counter it?

That will also be helpful for the polar moment. More weight in the center will make it more nimble, and I'm willing to bet that it's nimble as fuck.
