Yo BT. Jenz with due respect the R60 was not a quick bike. Great tourer but not very quick. At that Trout I had recently returned from a 3 year stay in Durbs. I brought with me a Honda R1100RC. This bike was the ancestor of the Fireblades. It was seriously quick in it's time. Certainly there was nothing in Zim or SA to touch it. I was staying on a damsite south of Gwelo at the time and the Honda had to negotiate 40km of dirt road to get home.
I owned several Hondas in the 60's, 70's and 80's. A 450 twin DOHC, the original 750 dog which was actually slower than the 450, a GS1000 Gold Wing, a CBX, a 900 Bol d'Hor and the 1100. The big dissappointments were the 750 and the CBX.
TerryK in the late 70's several of my mates in Durbs had Beemer R100RS's. Whilst they were relatively sluggish on acceleration they had a fair top end and benchmark handling, at least compared to my Gold Wing.
