Listen to the sound of my fully modified race bike. Next to the Honda RC166 this is the sweetest sound to me. John Surtees, the only man to win an F1 championship and a MotoGP Motorcycle Championship road an NSU Sportmax with a dustbin fairing just like mine.
One day I was drawing the concept for this motorcycle and was always fascinated with the Honda RC166 and decided to put a dustbin fairing on it. The fabled RC166 was a 250cc six cylinder MotoGp bike from the sixties. Mr. Honda built the RC166 four stroke to beat the evil two strokes because he thought it was only right to race what they sold. Now Honda bowed out of MotoGp in the 70's but returned with the oval shaped piston NR500 in 1979. A four-stroke that had OVAL pistons. That motorcycle was so innovative that the technology gained from it is still used today.
My Cb175 Honda started with 12 whp and we were able to get 23 whp at the dyno. Almost double! This is a snippet of my race bike warming up in the pits for speed runs for the Bostrom Brothers to try and take it to the TON (100mph) out at the new world class F1 track in Austin, Texas called Circuit of the Americas. Mr. Kevin Schwantz walked up and sat on my bike! That's right! MotoGP World Champion Kevin Schwantz! How cool is that?
