Horex vr6???????

The Benelli was beautiful ❤

In 1979 I test-rode the Honda CBX at Oakland Honda in Oakland, California. What really impressed me was how light and easy steering was on that heavy bike at low speeds doing 180 degree turns on side streets. Needless to say it got up to speed in a hurry on the 580 Freeway....

The prototype Suzuki 6 would have been a winner

The Benelli SEi, no matter how unreliable, was one of the prettiest and best sounding bikes, ever produced

I bought a CBX in 79. Rode 5000 miles in five days.. Put a 6 into one exhaust on it.. Sounded like a formula 1..My wife could hear me coming home a mile and a half away, at night. Great bike. Riding my second Busa now, 2022.

Excellent video!

One you missed is the Honda Rune, which was another, and very high end, variation on the flat 6 Gold Wing/Valkyrie architecture. As a short series, you might also want to look up the Laverda V6 endurance racer of the 1970s.

Great sounds from the cbx bike's

Where is the Horex VR6?

Suzuki hot air never came into production it shouldnt have been mentioned here..😭

Why a Suzuki concept bike? Why not mention the Horex V6 that is actually being produced?

Friend of mine had the Honda six , I had a Honda 350 twin , we both could do the speed limit , I got 72 miles to the gallon , he never told me what his milage was ( embarrassed maybe ) at the time anything above 60 miles per hour was illegal anywhere in the province. It was plain to see he could drive above the speed while my bike was comfortable at 60 . I had zero speeding tickets while he lost his license due to excessive speeding tickets . I got the last laugh lol

You forgot the Laverda.

Sympa votre chaine, ça fait la part belle à la technique, à la prochaine

I wanted to buy a CBX 1000 in 1983. I believe it was a 82 model. Unfortunately since my mom was cosigning she said no, it was too big. So I bought a SECA 650 Turbo instead lol.

I remember vivid when i saw the Z1300 in 1979 ( i was 13 back then ) That big block just blew me away. BTW same did the Jet ski that was displayed in the bank beside the Z1300 PS: i love this old bike in the video are not FAG loud.

That Kawasaki KZ 1300 in the video was ROUGH! Wrong paint, wrong exhaust, rust, corrosion on the chrome engine covers, etc.

These super bikes were why they had to change to a rolling start for acceleration testing as the old rev and dump the clutch would result in just sitting there and eating the tyres in a cloud of burning rubber, or popping a wheele

what about the laverda 6 Zylinder?

Should put the 1600 cc motorbike 6 in an old BMW 316 car . Logical engine swap.

And Honda in the 70'teens made a 6 cyl. I was working at the import compagny here in Denmark. The Honda CBX sports motorcycle was manufactured by Honda from 1978 to 1982.[10][11] With a 1047cc inline six-cylinder engine producing 105 bhp (78 kW), it was the flagship of the Honda range. The CBX was well-received by the press, but was outsold by its sibling introduced in late 1979, the Honda CB900F

Didn't MV Augusta had a 6 cylinder ? One of the most famous brand been left out.?

Wasn't that the 1st one we saw, the 1957 350-6?

I remember the Z1300, CBX, and Benelli Sei very well. There were dealers for all three in my immediate area, and all could be seen running around town during their era, though the Benellis didn't sell very well and were therefore somewhat rare. They were all interesting bikes for sure, but six cylinders were never really my thing. Just too much width and weight for anything besides munching interstate highway miles in my opinion. I do wish I had bought one just to have though.

the suzuki at the end...not produced...why include it ?

Where is Benelli 900 sei..?

I can start it and rev it. I have no idea that a cylinder is running too lean. Soon to self destruct

le probleme etait le poids du moteur et son encombrement! ++reglage des carbus!

You forgot to mention various Horex models based on the VR6 engine. What a shame!.. You even remarked about a Suzuki prototype which never saw production but not a single hint on the Horex VR6 still in production. You have not studied your homework guys.

In order to keep up with the Yamaha 2 stroke Honda starter to make the 6-cylinder motorcycles for racing then they have the audacity to tell the racing board that they were Stock Motorcycle knowing full well they did not produce any six-cylinder motorcycles for general public use. Just like when they used a magnesium crankcase against the rules to reduce the weight of the CB750 4 cylinder race bike when the bike slid on its side it caught fire aluminum does not do that. Naughty naughty shame on you.
