They were too heavy stock in the corners and I'd draft them on the straights. We ran 250 to open class production bikes. Hondas didn't have a prayer against the Trumph/BSA 750 triples or the 750 Nortons. Steve McLaughlin was the fastest Honda rider then. He's the guy who started the World Superbike class in Europe. His dad was a Honda dealer in Calif.? Willow Springs Raceway was my favorite track back then.

Maybe these stripped 750 Hondas were lighter?
