Wandered off to look up a torque figure for the gt1000.It's 67ft pounds for 60 cubic inches and the bike weighs 185 kgs or 407 pounds.
Dave the last fresh set of front pads i put was on a heavy suzuki hayabusa 1400 for a friend.It took a while for them to bed and a lot of weight to pull up in a hurry.
Barry you were reminesing?(how the hell do you spell that word?) about if a z1 ever came your way.Unlikely to be what most of us would consider cheap given how little in comparision to the price you paid when they were new.
One of four pre-production 1969 honda 750 fours with hand hammered exhausts and sand casting engine cases just sold at auction over there in california.I think they got 134,000 us
