Bubba Shobert

Bubba took this purpose built Honda RS750 (with identical bore and stroke dimensions to the Harley of 79.5mm x 75.5mm)
to three consecutive championship victories, '85, '86, '87 (after Ricky Graham had won on the Honda in 1984). It was Honda's valiant stab at Harley, with an overhead camshaft and four-valve heads, they proved they could play major league too. BP
