Had the CBX1000 6 cylinder in 1981 and then the GSX1100 in 1991. Both extremely good bikes. Now have the CBR1000F and still riding today at 65 years young. Good times 😊

Oh my word! What a memory. Dave Hiscock and brother Neville settled in South Africa back in the 80s. I watched them race the Shell racing Katana 1100s at the Killarney race track. So sad when he came short on the straight after trying to control tank slapper. RIP mate!

Taking the 120 Hp versus the saggy suspension, 250 Kg weight and match stick 35 mm forks of these bikes into account these racers were real heroes!

This is skill, overpowered bikes with licorice frames and plasticine brakes dicing with the only riding aids being the riders right hand! This is proper skills.. love the old GSX’s, had 2 myself, a 750 and 1100, plus a tasty Katana 1100. Never seen that blue paint job before, both of mine were red.

Really impressed with that CBX as those Suzi 1100's were monsters

Gladitorial efforts. Muscling those huge bike around at often redlined speeds. Doesn't get any better.

Great stuff. Calder is another former circuit in Oz. It is still there but much modified and then subsequently virtually abandoned. Short little bullring, but it produced some great racing.

Given the smaller displacement, the number of cylinders and the larger dimensions, I thought that the Honda CBX 1000 was quite penalized on slow tracks. Instead it fights reasonably well against the Suzuki GSX 1100. The riders certainly had to have big balls to take these heavy beasts on the track.

Gee the Big Honda Slammed Upside Down & still Finished 3rd!

The big Honda slammed upside down was No 6. No 8 finished 3rd - which was also a CBX No 6's race was over as the crank end cap was smashed on impact - you can see the pool of oil as he picked it up.
