Hey all,

Before I got my Falco, I was the proud owner of a couple of CBX750s.

Here's the first one I owned. It's got a genuine Moriwaki exhaust system, Raask rear-sets, and a home-made single-seat conversion. I did 130,000km on that bike, and I still have regrets that I got rid of it.

I traded it for this one:

The list of modifications is too long to post here, but it's a real blast to ride this thing.

After it lunched it's engine, it got rebuilt and repainted to look like this:

Just for giggles, does anyone care to guess what modifications it has over a stock CBX750?

Oh, and if anyone in Melbourne is interested, I can be persuaded to part with her for the right amount of money.

Cheers,
Viking

Everything bar the clocks?!

It does look smart.

I did start researching as to what looks different but gave up and settled for it just having the original enghine casings, clocks and fuel tap...

Was it that powerful ?

What I've done to the bike:

* Complete bottom-end rebuild about 2500km ago (new big-end bearings, new main bearings, everything cleaned and checked)
* Megasquirt EFI conversion using GSXR-750 fuel pump (mounted in the tank), GSXR-600 throttle bodies and a lot of messing around

Before you ask, there is no way I'm going to do anything similar to the Falco - there's just no need!

Hi GTR,

Welcome to the Forum. (Better get yourself over to the 'Virtual Bar' quick smart and buy us all a virtual beer, before the regulars all get in and drink it dry.

)

As for the frame, I have no idea what it cost. I bought the bike with it on already. The guy I bought it from said that it cost him a small fortune.
