I'll be racing them both at crmc-Lydden the week after dd-Brands, then at vmcc-Oulton the week after that.

Coooooooool :D:D:D:D:D:D

I'd love a go on the 350 if that's possible at some point.

Are they expensive to buy? A runner preferably?

Thanks Phil ;)

TP 09-Apr-2006 20:27

Yeah me too please Phil?! That would be cool.

What tyres do you run them on? How sticky are they and how do they compare with the diablo's?

phil_h 09-Apr-2006 20:41

I've been threatening to bring the 350 to a dsc trackday but something gets in the way each time - like not being able to go :sniff:
However, the offer for anyone to ride it is still open, its just my organisation that stops it happening.

The tyres are a bit narrower than you are used to :D but they are proper race rubber, usually with the same compound as last years superbike tyres.
I use Avon Venoms, 90/90x18 front and 120/80x18 rear, which are made in wiltshire I believe !
The compound seems quite similar to the diablos actually, which is a good testimony to the diablos.
Its the brakes that are the biggest difference ... I'm still trying to come to terms with the dd brakes :D

Cool. Would like to just see one too, I fink they're gorgeous!!!

Always liked that style race bikes :cool:

phil_h 09-Apr-2006 21:07

I've got almost enough to make another one Dom, if you're interested.
It needs a piston, crank, con-rod, 3rd gear and probably a straight-cut primary drive. :P

HELP!!!

Can someone translate that?

:lol::lol:

I'd love to Phil, but at the moment I'm skinter than a skint thing that is very skint!!!

Hopefully things will be better in a month or 2, and then I may start looking around.

I'll rack your brains during the season ;)

900MAN 09-Apr-2006 21:23

nice bikes.
Interesting about the tyres though.
I used to scrape out sidestands, centrestands and footpegs all through the eighties on small rubber. Back then a 120 was a big deal. My old Z550 had 4.25's on it and never slipped once even under much duress.
And yet on modern tyres I've had a few 'moments', Strange.

Stop it Spen. STOP it :sniff:

domski 10-Apr-2006 15:51

Ahhh, has this been a running saga (scuse the pun)

I take it you don't think he should sell it Neil?

I couldn't afford it if it was £6.43 anyway ;)

:lol:

Dominic Clegg 10-Apr-2006 17:43

i love the older bikes too i saw at 6 cylinder 350 at cadwell BSB last year and wow the noise it made. you could hear it all the way around the track to see a grid of all of them would be amazing iv riden the older 900ss it was a heavey bike but that just added to it character it had fuel pumps on it so to go fast you had to be real smoth with it i loved it just didnt have the money for one

phil_h 10-Apr-2006 20:03

Dom and Dom
If you like the noise ...
You really really must make an effort and get to a CRMC meeting sometime.
At some of the meetings there are parades with a number of really historic bikes out there.
I love it.
Hardly a car engine out there.
:sing:

id love to hear the honda 350 six cylinder again drop me an email

Zimbo16 10-Apr-2006 21:38

You could always take yourselves over to Mallory on the Sunday after our DD race at Oulton (which is on the Saturday I think????)
The VMCC have revived the Festival of 1000 bikes for the weekend, loads of classic race bikes etc plus a wall of death :D about £6 to get in I think, or you can take your classic round for £15 a session. Tempting . . ..

I wish I had the room Dom. It's mechanical porn :devil: If he keeps it then it at least means I get to look at it occasionally ;)

btw, he really doesn't want that much for it ;)

You've got mail,,,,,,

rcgbob44 11-Apr-2006 15:53

Honda didn`t make a full 350 6 cylinder machine , it was a 297 that competed in the 350 class.

If you want to hear a 350 and 500 6 cylinder machines, MV made prototypes that do the classic scene now and again and both sound incredible.

I`ll post a couple of piccys on here of them soon.

rcgbob44 11-Apr-2006 15:55

By the way I`ve always wanted either a 350 or 450 desmo single, the last ones made with front discs and yellow paint jobs.

Oh, and if you book at least one track session, you get two entry tickets for the whole weekend for free :D

I reckon I'll be doing it, on a 750 Norton cafe racer.
