Default barber motorcycle museum

Today me and a friend went down to the barber motorcycle museum in Birmingham Alabama. If you live in the southeast and like bikes I highly recommend you make the trip.
What an awseome display of motorcycles. Everything you can think of is there, with the exception of my two favorite bikes the R1 and R6. I was able to over look that small detail and had a great time. They did have the very rare R7 and that is the bike we drooled over longer than any other. The place is beautiful and it overlooks the racetrack. It really got me fired up for a track day. If I can find someone to host them I'll be putting up pics in photo gallery as soon as my friend emails them to me.

I love that track. Very fun. I wish they had something like that in the north.

Did they have a Honda NR750, far and above the rarest production bike. 60K in 91. Much cooler and exotic than a R7.

It's has VA4 with oval pistons (2 con rods per piston) and 32 valves (really a V8)

Carbon fibre body work, fuel injection and exhaust out the tail (where do you think Ducati got the idea?)

Yes, they do have that bike. Or at least one that looks like it. We took a picture of it. I'll have to get my friends digital camera and figure out how to post the pics. Maybe time to pay up and become a member.
