How does a 360-degree Jap Domestic Bomber in near-perfect condition sound??

Any bets on how much this will go for??

I threw a 500 buck bid on it for giggles. I see it is another Jason Lee bike for sale, there was a cherry CB160 cafe of Jason's on ebay a couple of days ago.

They've been trying to sell that 160 for a long time, but they want a ridiculous amount of money for it. No one's going to pay what they expect to get, especially in this market today.
Things must be tough for rich actors, huh?? (Sound of my heart bleeding)

Aslo, I seriously doubt this is the only 360-degree Bomber in the USA.
Though it's definitely a rare bird.

I saw that bomber last night, and thought OH SNAP! It's beautiful! I'd love to hear it run..

:idea: One of us should ask the guy to post a sound clip of it!

Who though?

....It WAS your idea!...Go for it!.... Nothing ventured......

 

[tbpmusic]

It would probably sound like a giant 175 or 200, my guess.
Wouldn't have that off-center ba-dum ba-dum of a regular 450.

Question sent! It could'nt hurt, right???

Riiiiiight! :roll:

 

[Bird76Mojo]

Riiiiiight! :roll:

Huh? :?

I got a reply: "Will upload one tomorrow"

We'll see...

Cool!.... Now we just need a sound byte of a 180 degree stocker to compare it to..... I'll see if we can also get a third example;... Paul (from the MSN 450 group) posted a short sounded vid of the "test' running of his highly modified racer. If he'll allow it maybe we can also post it here.... THAT bike really snarls!.......

 

[Bird76Mojo]

That'd be too cool to have all of them to compare! Even though it's not in person it'd still be nice..

You know, to preserve history..

Found this site, with various audio of Honda racers, and some stockers.
Took me a while to figure out how to navigate, and it's all in Japanese, but have at it.
Use the block of arrow keys to find stuff.

Looks like the bike's EBay listing has been pulled.
Who knows why, maybe they did a sale privately - these Kalifornia Kollectors have more money than they know what to do with......

Probably like a Yamaha XS650 as its a relatively short stroke motor

You have all probably heard it but-- here is Hansens website with a 6 speed 450 on the dyno
