They are around, look on FaceBook, Ebay etc. Although specialist engineers have enlarged them etc, there really aren’t special tuning parts for these engines. Quite honestly the outstanding feature of them is their mid-range torque, more at 3,000 rpm than a Honda CB750K does at 7,000. The best thing really is to restore one to good original condition and enjoy riding it. Quite honestly this characteristic is far more important than straight-line top speed (speedo 110/115 mph) and makes them really suitable for today’s roads, particularly because they are slimmer, lighter and handle better than the contemporary four cylinder bikes.
