19 80 fucking 5.....jaysus, that's a scary long time ago for someone who can remember seeing pic's of the bike at the time.........I s'pose I should at least be happy I can still remember it.

Now if I could just remember where I put my dentures this morning.........hmmmm, prolly find 'em in the fridge and the cat food next to the bed....again.

Hoping someone may have further information on this bike since I last asked.
Im about ready to build a replica of it after I finish restoring Kasper, the ex Bill Biber K100 race bike.

Going to use a big 750 or the bigger lump 1135 ?
Even with the 750's known problems you could end up with something very like Gary Jamieson's Moriwaki Honda 750...which ain't slow.

I have a complete 1135 engine, but I also know where a 750 pop up Katana engine is that I may be able to get.
If they are physically the same size I may just cheat & chuck it the 1135 engine, even though the original had an ESD 750 engine out to 997.

Bob,

Brefriend Rob Phillis on Facebook - I believe he may still has the original that was built by Chris Dowde and Action Suzuki in his garage?

I recall it was a GSX750ESD motor out to a 1000 and ran really hot.
