Beirut/Lebanon, 2009                                                    (c) Jens Schwarz I am a passionate biker. I bought in 1979 in Beirut a Honda CB750 Four K6, probably the first "super bike". I drove it till May 1981 and then sold it to a friend, Samir Khattab, and went to university in Germany. best bikes in india 110cc27 years later, in Beirut in February 2008, I bumped into Samir who surprised me by saying that he had hardly used the bike. motorcycle shop hendersonville ncIn fact, he drove if for a short while, then stored it in the humid garage of his grand-mother in Beirut in the summer of 1981 - and then also left to Germany. motorbike shop crouch endIn February 2008, the CB750 was clinically dead. cafe racer for sale in manila

It was in a really bad shape.It took me and an excellent mechanic in Beirut, Jamal Kahwaji, eight months to get all the needed spare parts via eBay Germany and then to resurrect the bike. In November 2008, the CB750 was on the roads of Lebanon again.In December 2010 I moved to the netherlands, and this time I shiped it with me. Never again will I sell it. In early 2012 the team of Lex van Dijk at GILEX Motorcycles in Amsterdam replaced numerous parts, a year later the same team overhauled engine and carburators. The CB750 since then rolls and looks just perfectly. At least for me.  If you love classic motorcycles, then check this photo documentation about the resurrection of my Honda CB750 K6. Then look at these pictures of how the bike was when I got it back in 2008. Fanatic biker and journalist Jochen Vorfelder wrote a report (in GERMAN) about his Lebanon bike trip with Stefan Schurig and me in 2009. It was published in the magazine Motorrad News 4/2010.Michael Friedrich, another journalist but no bike freak, wrote an in-depth article (in GERMAN) about life in Beirut, including many quotes from me.

Fresh superabundant energy, force and power is breathed into the world's rebel motoring culture, as envisioned and created, one machine at a time, by the fiercely independent hot rod giants upon whose shoulders we so proudly stand. As a salute to those gentlemen we so greatly revere, we are honored to offer the most primal example of raw American Power it is possible to create. G2 P51 COMBAT FIGHTER: Like its hugely successful predecessor, the Combat Fighter is inspired by the 1960's rebel, anti-hero and the stripped, raw, chopper he rode.

This second-generation Combat Fighter rides on our brand new CX4 architechture, a lighter, tougher evolution of our class leading, patented, drag racing derived powertrain and powertrain mounting system. This exercise in muscle bike purity is built entirely of the 6061 aerospace billet aluminum, right down to the unitized engine block and heads. Overbuilt machined fuselage plates located by machined bulkheads form a brilliant porprietary monocoque that is the stiffest, most fatigue-resistant and lightest chassis capable of housing the greatest amount of torque as a percentage of weight ever achieved in all of motordom. No expense was spared in the design and creative process, adhering to Confederate's mandate of only developing the best and finest achievable. This magnificent machine hit 164.93 mph on very slippery salt at Bonneville this year. This co-efficiency of Drag Limited Performance is proof of concept that the 61 P51 Confederate Combat Fighters are destined for future glory, as the optimized bookend to an era that will soon be "Gone With The Wind."
