Naw Gracie Darlin...I'd still call that mighty near perfect.
And-once again-you may quote me on that.

Light, quick, very maneuverable, that's my idea of a good motorcycle.

Arrived in Cincinnati about 0200 this morning. Will be picking up Miss Baby about noon.

I guess at least some of you caught the "Miss Baby" reference...

Only one piece of advice, don't put cheep gas in it. 93 octain only. Most any motorcycle engine is like a very high performance race engine, when you consider the horsepower to cubic inch ratio, The Honda is like having a 795 horsepower 454 corvett. as far as HP to ci in.

Hears some specs for you
Displacement: 447.00 ccm (27.28 cubic inches)
Engine type: Twin
Stroke: 4
Power: 44.00 HP (32.1 kW)) @ 9000 RPM
Compression: 9.3:1
Bore x stroke: 75.0 x 50.6 mm (3.0 x 2.0 inches)
Valves per cylinder: 3
Fuel control: OHC
Cooling system: Air
Gearbox: 6-speed
Transmission type
final drive: Chain

You wouldn't put regular in that corvett would you?

Ron

Thanks for the 411.

I landed safely back in the ATL last night just in time to sleep and go to work this morning.

Had Miss Baby out this evening for a while. Still needs tires, insurance, tags, the sort of stuff you don't leave the shop parking lot without, unless your idea of risk differs considerably from mine.

BTW, "Miss Baby" is from a Brother Dave Gardner story, Dear Hearts

Wasn't that the story Brother Dave told about the passenger(on the bike) being OK after the accident, till they turned her head around (she had the jacket on backwards)?? Me and the wife enjoy his albums too
