Looking for information: Does anyone recognize or know anything about this bike. It's from the 60's-70's and it looks unlike anything I've seen before. I was told it was from a dirt track program Honda had. There is definitely some factory-type stuff going on here. Check out the same side rear brake/sprocket!








1 rear hub - same side brake / sproket it is Honda becaue it has the hm logo cast in
2 front hub - no brake cast into it, its a spool
3 monoshock - it has the old school looking shrouded very short honda shock
4 rear brake arm pivots off of swingarm pivot, not its own
5 exhaust - obviously goes through frame, supertrapp
6 gas tank - in the frame, not plastic insert, MR50 size cap
7 forks - are shorter, appear to be just modified stockers
8 bars - bolt on traditional way, not the hand knob way
9 seat - aluminum hand fabricated pan
10 intake manifold - looks modified from something else
11 foot pegs - very different from stock
12 shifter - weird bend, could be just a modified old style
13 ignition coil - moved from stock location, now up close to seat, long plug wire
14 swingarm - very odd, boxed in around shock mount area and bent to make lower
15 kick start - blanked off with a plug

I believe it was '81-'82 that they debuted their first 750 twin dirt tracker, the CX 500 based NS750 watercooler. It was a dud. The first RS 750 debuted in '83, and was raced into the early '90's . Bubba Shobert won the title in '85,'86, and '87, then the AMA restricted the intakes and upped the minimum weight on the RS. That was the end of Honda's factory dirt track team. They bailed out.
Ricky Graham was the last guy to bring glory to the RS750 in '93, winning twelve races ,6 of them in a row, to claim the title on the Johnny Goad tuned Honda's, as a privateer team.
