Not mine, but I'd like one. Lotta unknown factors to this one; are you feeling lucky, punk?

I'll forgive his misused apostrophe because he's including an RZ cylinder with the cases

I did not realize for what I was asking...that is an amazing, heart-wrenching and inspirational story, Tim. Thanks for sharing that; you have reinforced my faith in human nature. 

you're right, didnt even notice the caliper...its pretty wild w the relocated shocks. I had a dohc 750,an 81. it was a pig. (1st bike actually). man that thing was hateful to live with.

My first street bike was a '79 750F...great minds

My guess, too. Honda wheel, rotor and caliper; frame makes me think DOHC CB.

Tim, is there a good story about how the Phoenix project got its name?

Imagine the music that came out of that 

Not mine, as usual...

What a jewel!

Not mine, but I'd like it to be:

It's been listed for awhile, and I have always loved this body style, like the 750s: Santa Monica, Montjunich, etc. I have zero Ducati experience and this thing would probably be a money pit and enormous headache, so I will admire it from afar...safely out of kicking distance.

They're amazing, aren't they? I remember when the refrain was that to make two strokes clean enough, they'd need fuel injection and sophisticated electronics, so four strokes it is. Now here we are, and all I can think of is what a modern RD350 with just a smattering of modern snowmobile technology would be like.

Not mine; seems like a good deal; maybe sell the CB stuff to finance the Yamaha's rehabilitation?

You should have used "this" instead of "a" if that purple engine is what you were referring to...

I find the CX engine to be unlovely. It's styled like it was intended to be hidden inside bodywork, like the PC800. Moto Guzzi made the same layout look purposeful and muscular. So when I asked "what's uglier than a CX500 engine", the answer is: this particular CX500 engine.
