Hello Mike - 

CA>> The 500cc Kawasaki still is my idea of a 'good show'. When
CA>> they road them at normal throttle they tinkled but open up
CA>> the throttle and you could hear them a mile away. I saw a
CA>> guy ride his back wheel from every stop light for miles on
CA>> a Kawasaki. He was nuts but I was enjoying the spectacle!
CA>> I could run along behind these guys in my Pontiac at
CA>> partial throttle and watch the whole thing. I used to
CA>> follow drag racers often and just watch. It was funny when
CA>> I got bored and punched it in the Pontiac and left them in
CA>> the dust. :-) 

MR> I think you forgot the early 350cc Kawasaki's had a better
MR> weight to horsepower ratio and would jump out ahead of many
MR> bigger engines. 

I did specify 'good show'. It was entertaining to watch them
and to hear them but you are correct, I do not remember the
350cc Kawasakis. 

I also enjoyed the Bultacos when I was too young to drive one.
Engines had unique and recognizeable sounds to them originally.
I could tell the difference between a Ford, Chevy, or Chrysler
by just the sound of the engine at full throttle. They each
used a different firing order that gave a different sound.
