Widowmaker or Landmark Superbikes?! Kawasaki's...

Cycle World Podcast ·

2025/02/12

If any bikes of the 1970s defined "scary fast" they were Kawasaki's H1 500cc and H2 750cc two-stroke Triples. They were notoriously fast but also not particularly, uh, confidence inspiring in terms of handling or brakes. But they were incredibly quick and easy to modify for even higher performance. Were they really that bad? Technical Editor Kevin Cameron has a deep familiarity with Kawasaki two-strokes of this era so there is plenty to learn as he and Mark Hoyer discuss these

2024/12/25

Harley-Davidson's famous racing boss Dick O'Brien was looking in the 1960s to strike back at Triumph and its 500cc twins that were winning Daytona. With the help of star tuners Jerry Branch and Neil Keen, plus some clever work at the Caltech wind-tunnel, Harley came back with a race-winning flat-head 750 AND tested a strange prototype called the Midget that was even faster but is lost to history.

2024/12/18

It went from You Meet the Nicest People to You Meet World Champions on a Honda in a very short span of time. In 1959, Honda was selling scooters in the U.S. Ten years later it was the CB750--and Honda's GP racing effort in those intervening years drove this change. Technical Editor Kevin Cameron talks with Editor-in-Chief Mark Hoyer about Honda's meteoric rise in Grand Prix racing during the 1960s and the technical innovations and revolutions that drove this success. Also, why Honda quit GP racing

MV Agusta four-stroke Grand Prix racers howling through their megaphone exhausts are legendary! Cycle World's Kevin Cameron and Mark Hoyer talk about MV from its first little modest little machine built in post-World War II Italy to world-dominating racing motorcycles that continued to compete into the 1970s. Sometimes slow to change and other times rapidly updating designs to stay competitive with upstart Honda's amazing multis of the 1960s, MV was a dominant force in GP racing until two-strokes

Honda blew minds with the V3 Concept that uses an electric supercharger to boost intake pressure. Why an electric supercharger? Why a V-3 layout? How much power could it make? How much electric power would the supercharger use? How could perfectly constant boost or instantly variable boost be used to improve the riding experience? So many questions about this incredibly interesting concept—AND Honda says it is headed for production. Technical Editor Kevin Cameron and Editor-in-Chief Mark Hoyer talk

Honda decided to go dirt track racing in the 1980s and it wasn't long before it was winning—a lot! Technical Editor Kevin Cameron was the AMA observer at the resulting dyno tests as restrictor plates were tested to restore "parity" with the XR-750 and he followed the development of the Honda flat track racer from the early "sideways CX500" to the proper built-from-scratch RS750. Of course there is a lot about the Indian FTR750 and Harley-Davidson XR-750 as well, plus we discuss perhaps the most
