Honda V12 CBX verses. Kawasaki V12 2300cc

I know the story on the V12 Kawa has been posted before:

But has anyone seen this:

Interesting.

Anyone care to take a guess as to which bike would win a quarter mile? I doubt neither would do well on a track.

The Honda is probably 75% the mass of the Kaw. Plus it's a chain drive. There is no contest for the quarter mile But I would put my money on the Kaw for potential top end. At least post something in a language we can all understand like in this video. I don't paleviu Frog. :woohoo:

thank you....way cool...i had seen pics of the kzkz2600 but not clips of it or anything on the cbxcbx..thanks

That Honda wsa smoking really bad. Even minutes after shutting off the engine it looked like someone was burning wet leaves. Those turkeys are talking about clutch rattle, etc. but never mention that the smoke is filling the garage. The heck with clutch rattle, buy some piston rings! :laugh:

That thing has 12 cylinders, you can't expect him to afford rings for ALL of the pistons! :lol: :lol:

I love the sound of the CBX at idle!

Did you see the position of the front bank of cylinders? I wonder if they thought of putting a sump into the front head. I doubt that the valve cover will drain oil the way the system was intended to. The Germans had the same problems with their inverted V-12 engins on the Messofshit-109 and the other aircraft before they installed dry sumps into the DB and Jummo engines.

It is, that is why I posted the second video. It did not have that obnoxious bimbo babbling things we couldn't understand anyway over that terrific sound.
