    So what you basically are saying is that it would actually be a shame to ride it on the street simply because it belongs in a museum? That it is a racing icon? That it's honda heritage?

    I can only agree - what I was getting at was just that the amount of bike that you get for your money is not worth it. It's all the little extras such as pedigree and rarity. Imagine writing it off because someone forgot to check their mirrors...

    As for unrestricting it - that'll just up the American version from 101 to 118 hps. Not bad - but still a far cry from the 190 hps in race trim. And sure, in race trim on the track it'll pretty much smoke anything road legal...

    And sure, if I had enough money to waste I'd buy one - and preferably as stock standard as possible. I'd put it next to the Ferrari 250 GTO and the Ford GT40 in my "drive-carefully-twice-a-year-when-the-weather-is-perfect" garage. Alas, that is not the case.
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    Heh, I'm not that precious about bikes, even bikes like that. Sure I wouldn't screw the arse out of it, but I wouldn't hesitate to ride it to work or Akaroa when the mood arose.
