My mk2Bros 650 after k&n and jetting was dynoed at tyre shredding 44bhp!

Flat torque curve from 3000-7500rpm was impressive and was maybe the reason it never felt under powered. Was on a track day with a BROS with a bored out to 800cc 750 Africa twin topend. Left quite a few people slack jawed when that thing got opened up down the straight....... mostly ducati owners!

The chassis was what made the bike great tho'. Alloy frame , sexy single sider, RC designation. Fat tyres (for the time) and proper V-twin thin.

I would love to see Honda bring out a updated version with the Deauville "big bore" engine. Can't see it. Think it will just stay in our imaginations I'm afraid.
