      25-30 CBXs locally owned? Wonder why Calgary/Alberta became such a hotbed?
      I have been an owner for 20 years and don't think i have even seen that many.
      They certainly are a fun bike to ride and the attention they get is part of that.

        I've got a Wiseco 810cc kit and a spare cylinder just waiting for an excuse to install it in my 750. The bike runs so damn nice now though that I've been dragging my feet.

        A guy on KZ Rider built a restomod 750 that's just a dream come true. He upgraded the suspension and brakes with late model fork/wheels/tires/swingarm/shocks as is customary with that sort of project. For the engine he went 810cc kit, 6 speed wide ratio transmission from a KZ550, along with modified clutch, and some aftermarket cams. Add in a Kerker and various other custom bits. A dream come true.

          I had an 810 kit in my 750 Turbo, among way too many modifications to list. That is the only motorcycle I've ever ridden that had over 200 rwhp. It was a nightmare come true
