A good friend of mind is selling his incredible Honda.  If you are

Hey, 
 
I have a 1 yr old Honda Turbo NJ1200 RR for sale. I bought it new for about
$100,000 (U.S.) in Japan and brought it over last summer. Only 7 of them
were made originaly.
Let me tell you a couple of things about this bike:
 
1) It has two wheel drive (2x2x2).
2) It goes from 0mph to 200Km/hr in 3 secs.
3) Almost 450 horse power.
4) Only weight 411 pounds.
5) It has quad turbine 1200cc all ceramic & titanium engine with intercooler.
6) All titanium body frame with ceramic-alluminum body.
7) Comes standard with computer controlled dual ABS.
8) Standard equipment includes power mirrors, adjustable power leather seats, 
   adjustable power handle, stereo system (includes cd player) Hand-free
built- 
   in cellular Phone, Electronic remote alarm, etc.
9) It gives great gas mileage...typically little less than 100 miles per
gallon.
10) And more... 

I am selling it because I am buying a new Honda NG750 RR, which is the
racing version of Turbo NJ1200 RR.
Tell me if you're interested.
 
-Sam.

Sounds like a great idea -- I've got to do some thinking about
how I could actually implement this.

>(In Europe, we _do_ have noise regulations...8-) )

We've got them too, but I've always wondered if they are actually
enforced -- I don't know anyone (except for those actually using
drag pipes) who has been pulled over for noise.

Well, I don't know.  European countries usually don't like to have people
do this.  I think when you enter the country with a vehicle from the US
the Customs people will ask a *lot* of questions all basically aimed at
determining if you will sell it while you are there.  That's because they
want to collect the import duties up-front.  
   Even so, you might make a profit.  Harleys are a very desirable ride
in Europe and resale value is very high.  Check this out with various
embassies in advance because it may make a big difference which country 
you first bring it into.

I  recently  posted  asking  for  advice  about  performance   pipes.  I
installed  my new  pipes  and  wanted  to give  some  feedback  on them.
Several people mentioned the Python II and the Kerker pipes.  The shop I
bought at were  really hot on the Drag  Specialties  Python II pipes, so
thats what I got.  Price was  $220.00  which is higher  than some  other
brands.  The  installation  was a snap, 1 hour.  The  sound is a  little
louder  than I had  expected  but nice.  Most  cities  here  have  noice
ordinances  along the front range of Colorado, so I am a little  uptight
about that as I know other bikers who have been nailed.  But, when I let
off on the throttle,  they aren't too loud.  The bike really runs better
now!  My only  complaint  was the place I bought  them from got  tapered
pipes  instead of slash cuts which I ordered,  so it took a while to get
the  right  ones.  I'll  need to watch  the plugs to make  sure I am not
running too lean and I definitly am going to get a less  restrictive air
cleaner soon.  Even my wife is pleased with the new sound, so it must be
a winner.

Bud,

        Yes you can get slash  cut pipes for the low  rider.  At least I
just  got them and put them on my low  rider.  They are  listed  in Drag
Specialties  catalog as Bologna  Cut not slash.  There were only 2 types
available for the rubber-mounted Evo, tapered and bologna pipes.  As far
as price  goes, I checked  at 2  different  shops and both  quoted me at
$220.00.

Hammering suits me just fine ;-)

I've thought of replacing the mufflers with 10" long chromed metal
tubes. Should flow enough.. (and get me and my bike kicked out from our
backyard to the street after I run the bike a few times after 01 AM!)

I have a garage full (10) light weight Harleys, ranging from 125 (3)

Anyone interested in the whole bunch?

If so, please write me, the price is completely negotiable.

Everything is possible.
However you should replace the mufflers so they flow.
I have never heard or seen such a solution, but then again why not. I am
interested though with what you want to seal those holes. If you're not

  I ordered PYTHON I's and will pay 199.00. Both pipes (I's and IIs)
list baloney cut and tapered part numbers. I did not check if
this is true for FXRSs. The price is ludicrous. Email me and I'll

No I haven't (one to you there), but we don't have Sabres and Magna over
here either. We did have quite a selection of V4s though, VF400F, VF500F,
VF500F2, VF750F, VF750F2, VF1000F, VF1000F2 (Bol D'Or), VF1000R and the
VFR750F. I am lead to understand that the Sabre and Magna motors
