Salesman used to put a glass of water on the seat of the Honda CB750 in 1969 and turn it on. The sales pitch was that the water didn't spill because the four-cylinder engine ran so smoothly.
Back in those days it was a far cry from the British and European twin-cylinder superbikes that used to shake and shudder.
This was the beginning of the invasion of super-smooth and powerful
Japanese superbikes that continues today. Now the CB750 has returned in
spirit with a retro-styled CB1100F.
It was one of the hits of the Tokyo Motor Show a year ago, shown in its
basic form and in a few modified formats using the wide range of
genuine factory accessories such as blackened mufflers.
And what a
fine looking bike it is, too, bringing back memories of the halcyon
days of motorcycling when it was all about an engine and wheels, not
fairings, luggage, technology and electronic wizardry.
This is a bike directed at mature-age riders who remember those times and want to relive them.
This is a bike to look at and be seen on.
It's not a bad handling bike and will ably perform commuting and Sunday recreational rides. But it's not very practical for touring with a hard bench seat and no weather protection. It also won't tear up the track like most modern sportsbikes.
As a styling exercise, it scores nine out of 10.
I love the old-style twin instrument pods, the bench seat, the twin
rear shocks, conventional skinny forks, chromed fenders and the
beautiful plumbing of the four-into-one header pipes.
The stylists have thankfully resisted the temptation to modernise too much opting for an 18-inch front wheel instead of the original 19, but at least it's not a 17. On the back they have stayed with a 170mm tyre, rather than modern fat rubber.
There are also some nice details such as the billet gear brake pedal, chromed mirrors and blinkers and the discreet tie-down points to secure small luggage on the back seat.
I've stopped short of giving it 10 out of 10, because the instruments should have chromed backs like the mirrors and blinkers, the fuel tank should have a traditional flat bottom rather than the 1980s curved design and I'd prefer wire wheels rather than mags.
The first CB750 had wire wheels, although the five-star mags were also
popular in later models. But this is not about historical accuracy so
much as what looks cool. The pipe configuration also isn't historically
accurate, but it looks very cool.
Build quality is excellent as we expect from Honda. However, a more
comfortable seat would have been handy. As it is, you will have a sore
backside long before the 280km touring range of the 14.6-litre fuel
tank.
Like the CB750, the major selling point is the strong and smooth four-cylinder engine.
It is a remarkably refined unit with a bounty of power, mainly through the midrange.
However, it doesn't have a lot of low-down torque, so lazy riders need not apply. You have to stir the five-speed gearbox to keep it in the sweet spot of revs. That's no problem as it has a super-slick and faultless shifter.
Brakes are a linked system which works well and ABS is a must-have safety feature.
Handling is okay, but I found the non-adjustable forks a bit soft, promoting dive. On downhill corners, there was no travel left to soak up bumps, so the front chattered a bit.
The preload-adjustable rear Showa twin shocks cope better although they bottom out easily with a pillion.
Riding position is traditional sit-up-and-beg style, but with cramped
footpegs. My knees also kept getting scorched on the wide engine and I
barked my shins more than once on the gearbox.
The flat and wide handlebars make a breeze of foot-up u-turns, tight
maneuvres through traffic and flicking through a complex set of
twisties.
Pillions will be happy for short periods with the flat and wide perch
and the option of a seat sash or underseat grips to hang on to.
Just make sure you and your pillion have the right gear on, because this is a bike to be seen on, especially in white.
On the 28th of July, I began my 10-day charity ride - raising money for the Royal Flying Doctor - to Australia’s most northerly point, better known as “The Tip” or “Cape York”. I didn’t really know what to expect of this journey on a Quad bike although I had been to the Tip in 2008 in a support vehicle for the journey, but not riding. All I was expecting was it to be fun, tiring and very dusty as I was only used to short trail rides such as Woodenbong and Urbenville.
We had flown to Cairns two days prior to the beginning of the trek. The first leg of the trip started just north of Cairns at Atherton heading to Chillago and the following day through to Laura.
From Laura the trek headed us through to Coen, as each day progressed they began to get longer and more difficult. Day 5 leaving from Bramwell Station was the finally leg to Sesia at the tip. After arriving at Sesia we had a two day break which I believe was well deserved.
Leaving Sesia we headed to Merluna Station for a quick stay, next continuing on to Lotus Bird Lodge near Musgrave. From Lotus Bird Lodge began our biggest trek of around 400kms to Cooktown. The next two days took us from Cooktown to Cape Tribulation and then finally finishing out trek at Mossman.
From Day 1 my Dad had been reminding me that “You break it… you fix it”, and that this trek was not a race but an endurance ride. As I had just purchased a new Honda TRX400EX a couple of months prior to the trip I was adamant not to let anything happen to my new bike as it was ‘my baby’ and I couldn’t afford to fix it. I am still paying it off with a part time job, whilst in year 12.
Throughout the trip there were many different types of terrain we had to ride through… mud to dust to bull dust to sand to floating my bike through croc infested rivers!
Not knowing the tracks, and after being told where to go I managed to
miss a turn - sending my Dad on a mission to catch me, finally catching
me 7kms down the road… wasting 14kms worth of fuel. Making this mistake
caused me to wear a hideous dress for the next day’s ride, which my
fellow riders found extremely funny.
There were many highs and minimal lows of the trip, my most memorable high would have to have been deep water creek crossings, picking the best paths and not getting stuck …and avoiding wet feet.
Another high would have to be the experience of been escorted through the middle of a town on my quad, that’s not something you do every day.
The only part of the trip that I do not really like would have to be the day that I had the flu and riding 400kms through mud and rough terrain. We arrived in Cooktown at 6.00pm that night we had been riding for around 10 hours. Throughout the day I wanted to give up but my dad kept pushing me, it was a massive relief when we arrived at Cooktown.
I was exhausted, tired and felt sick and all I wanted to do was sleep. I managed to feel success when everyone was telling me that I had done a great job and it had been a difficult day that I had made it through.
The Cape trip was a fantastic experience especially for a 16-year-old girl. When I completed the ride I felt triumphant that I had managed to finish the 3,000km trip and not crash or get a flat tyre and it was also a place that I could cross where I have wanted to ride.
I’d encourage anyone who has the opportunity to ever to do this ride to jump up and take advantage of it. Throughout the trip we managed to raise a lot of money for the Royal Flying Doctorwhich is great.
This trip would not have been possible without Ray Buchanan from Australian Dirt Bike Adventures. It was a truly worthwhile and rewarding experience.

Wobble on Dude!
By Ron Grant
Ever had that “hmmm, my bike just doesn’t feel as confident in corners as it used to” feeling?
You contemplate why….I haven’t crashed it and bent anything, I only had it serviced a few months back so that’s all good, maybe I am just losing the plot?!
Motorcycles are totally unique in their handling characteristics and
require more precise adjustment than a car. With 4 wheels, the tyres
can be half flat, the steering bushes worn and
the wheels out of balance and it will still drive OK, but not on a
motorcycle.
One of the biggest issues we see on a daily basis is front tyres with excessive wear on the right side.
This is primarily caused by the camber of the road, which is designed to drain water off the surface as quickly as possible by having the centre (white line) section the highest point.
This has a “scrubbing” effect on the right side of the front tyre causing premature wear and creating initially a “vague” feeling when tipping into right turns. As the tyre continues to wear, the motorcycle wants to “fall” into right turns and becomes very “nervous” in the steering through corners.
Tyre pressures are the biggest issue we see with many people not checking their tyres anywhere near often enough. As tyres (and sometimes rims) can be slightly porous, they will always lose a small amount of pressure every week – some more than others.
Failing to have correct tyre pressures not only affects the handling but also the longevity of your tyres. Check every week and run the manufactures recommended pressures.
Tyre life. In reality, a large capacity motorcycle only rides on approximately 5 square cm of rubber per tyre – and that is not much. Many riders will struggle to get 5,000 km’s tyre life on a sports bike. Sports / touring tyres tend to last approx 10,000 km’s and cruisers approx 12,000 kms plus.
It would seem false economy to spend $20,000 on a motorcycle and skimp on replacing worn tyres when they are required.
Steering head bearing adjustment. The whole motorcycle pivots off the steering head, and unless the steering head bearings are in perfect condition and adjusted correctly, the motorcycle will just not steer confidently.
If you have to fight your motorcycle into a corner – then it is highly
likely your steering head bearings are worn. If your motorcycle wants
to “tank slap” on deceleration from approx 80kmh, that is almost
certainly steering bearing adjustment.
CHALLENGE –
1. Gently run your open hand across the front tyre. Do you feel any “scalloping” or uneven wear?
2. Look carefully at your front tyre, particularly the right side. Is there at least 1.5mm of tread depth (the legal limit) at the most worn point?
3. Repeat the above with your rear tyre.
4. Check your tyre pressures to ensure they are set as per the manufactures specification (normally there is a sticker on the chain guard or swing arm).
5. Raise the motorcycle so the front wheel is off the ground (no not while you’re riding!!) and very slowly and gently turn the handlebars left to right to left. Do you feel a bit of a bump in the middle (front wheel straight ahead). If you do, your steering head bearings need to be replaced ASAP.
If you are unsure on any of the above, drop into any TeamMoto Service Centre for a free inspection.
Motorcycle Riding School: If you love something set it free...
... and if it doesn't come back hunt it down and kill it.
By John Bacic, TeamMoto Motorcycle Riding School Senior Instructor
Why? Oh. Why, for the love of god did I just not let go when I had the chance. That’s the question that had sprung to mind as I was hurtling towards a muddy, shallow creek bank four meters below.
Interestingly enough I was holding on to a rope swing at the time and
had I let go just three seconds earlier I would have made a spectacular
half pike dive with a twist into a deep pool of water, thus impressing
the two very lovely young ladies watching from the creek bank.
Well that’s how the whole scene played out in my head, anyway... I may have misjudged that a little. Instead of executing a brilliant half pike dive, I careered towards the tree at pretty much the same velocity I had left it at.
The dull penetrating thud able to be heard for miles as I hit the tree did impress the girls though, something positive I suppose. The valuable lesson I had learnt from that whole experience apart from the fact that I was an idiot, is that sometimes because of our fear we hold on too tightly just when we should be letting go or loosening our grip.
Working as an instructor with TeamMoto Motorcycle Riding School I spend a lot of time with people who have never ridden a bike before. I have noticed that people learning to ride for the first time demonstrate one common behaviour; they all hold on to the handlebars too tightly.
Being an astute observer of the human condition I have arrived at the conclusion that this behaviour may have something to do with the rider being a little nervous (ya think). Holding onto the handlebars too tightly prevents the rider from steering with any fluidity.
Here’s the problem...you need to be relaxed in order to have a loose grip on the bars. Being an astute observer of the human condition, have I mentioned that yet? I know from firsthand experience that when you are careening into a corner at about 10km/h faster than “Excuse me waiter could you suggest where one could purchase a fresh pair of undies.” It’s going to be very hard to feel relaxed.
Mmmm, how are we going to figure this one out?
Controlling a motorcycle is as much a mental process as it is a physical one. Having a plan when approaching a corner allows us to predict what we are going to do and how the bike is going to behave.
An effective way to develop your riding is to slow down to a speed that allows you to examine what you are doing on the bike. Keeping your knees in tight and holding on to the fuel tank lets you have a loose grip on the bars giving you more control over the throttle and steering.
All these things the plan, speed and hanging on with your knees helps you do the one thing you need to do to ride a bike well... relax. So remember stay smooth keep relaxed enjoy your riding and watch out for that tree.
Tech Tips: Spring has Sprung!
Pun intended! This month I’m going to talk about suspension set up. The reason our motor vehicles, whether it’s a car or motorcycle have suspension, is to keep the tyres in contact with the road surface at all times and while doing so provides us with a comfortable and smooth ride.
In the early days motorcycles didn’t have suspension and they used what is termed a rigid frame. They were not very pleasant to ride and anybody who has ridden a ridged framed chopper will know what I’m talking about.
These frame set-ups usually require a sprung seat and in most cases you
had to run lower air pressure in the rear tyre, which helped soften out
the bumps to keep your spine intact.
But they did look cool.
Now, without trying to baffle you with too much technical jargon, we have two terms we call "sprung" and "unsprung" mass, which is more commonly referred to as weight. For all of you who don’t know, your rear shocks and front forks have springs in them and their job is to support the weight of you, your luggage, passenger and the main bulk of the motorcycle.
Sprung weight is the combined weight of every component that the springs supports - the frame, engine, fuel tank, seat, handle bars etc.
The rest is unsprung weight - wheels, tyres, brakes, swingarm and forks. Unsprung weight effects how the suspension works, while sprung weight determines the stiffness of your springs.
Most of you by now, especially those who tour a lot, would have noticed that if you add more weight to your bike (say a pillion passenger and or luggage) your bikes suspension sags or compresses more.
This can cause the suspension to bottom out and in most cases changes the way the bike handles. This is why most manufactures today fit rear shocks and front forks with spring pre-load adjustments.
Spring pre-load is the force or load we apply to a spring before it is subjected to vehicle loads. The more pre-load applied, the more weight required to compress the spring the same amount.
You need to understand that when you overload your bike, your suspension compresses more than intended and this changes the ride height of your bike - which in turn can change your steering, handling and ground clearance. It also effects how your suspension works.
By increasing the pre-load on your rear shock spring/s and front forks, you will restore your bikes ride height to where it should be. If you happen to be on the lighter side of the average person, you may find the opposite applies. You may not weigh enough to compress your suspension, so you will have to reduce the amount of spring pre-load.
Sometimes adjusting your pre-load may not fix the problem. You may need to replace your springs with ones that are softer - or harder - depending on your situation. To find out if your springs are the correct ones for you, there are some checks that you can do.
These checks or measurements are called static sag and rider sag. Static sag refers to how far your shocks compress under the weight of your motorcycle without you sitting on it.
To measure this you need to lift the bike off the ground so that the suspension is fully extended.
Take a measurement from the rear wheel axle to a common point on the bike (rear foot rest or side cover). You can place a strip of masking tape on a panel for a reference point. Write down the measurement.
Place the bike back on the ground, bounce it up and down a couple of
times to allow the suspension to settle and get a friend to hold the
bike up straight. Take the measurement again using the same reference
points. Minus the first measurement from the second one and you have
your static sag.
Next, you need to sit on the bike, bounce up and down again allowing
the suspension to settle and with you sitting in your natural riding
position, you will need two mates. One to hold the bike up and the
other to re-measure using the same reference points. Minus your first
measurement you took from the measurement with you sitting on the bike
and this will give you your rider sag.
Read your owners handbook or service manual to see the recommended sag for your bike. The reason we take two measurements for is for comparison. If your rider sag is correct, but you static sag is not enough or too little, it means your spring is too soft. If you have excessive or too much static sag when your rider sag is adjusted correctly, your spring is too hard and you need to replace your spring/s.
Setting your suspension up correctly ensures that it will work the way it was intended and your bike will handle the way it was meant to. A poorly set up suspension can - and does - affect your safety. Until next month, I wish you all a safe and enjoyable riding experience.

Shots of the Month
There are some wild ones this month! One word: Sturgis! America's most famous motorcycle rally was held this month in the shadow of the Black Hills of South Dakota.
The rally's been going since 1938, when the thousands of bikers who parked up could camp in the town's City Park.
Now it has swelled to hundreds of thousands of attendees, spread out across and beyond the town - all accompanied by the sounds of Bob Dylan, Ozzy Osbourne, ZZ Top and Motley Crue. It is definitely a sight to see...
