Hi all
Came across your site recently and liked it very much. Always been into bikes and raced for around 12 years inthe U.K. from 1977 to1989. I'm well into classics and have been building a Honda RC162 replica for the road and trackdays. It is a replica frame, tank and seat with 1963 Honda CB72 forks, 1972 Suzuki GT750J front brake, 1963 CB72 rear brake, 1977 CB400F swingarm and the engine is from a 1988 CBR250R and revs to 18000 rpm. We went to Croix in France this year and we had a great time. Well into my 50's so I'm making the most of my time left. The bike is not completed yet but this winter should see it done. It's up and running and on the road and goes well. I've put up some pictures and a couple of YouTube links from our trip to Croix so you can see and hear what it is like. Hope you like it.
