I always liked this analogy, Kawasaki Ninja, 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds, California Redwood, 60 to 0 in 0.01 seconds.I keep calling this a Kawasaki but it may be a Suzuki. I'm an old time Honda rider but I ride a Kawasaki now. I have a ZN-700 also a Honda CB-750 and a Honda CB-750F. The Curtis P-40 came in several versions, the P-40C - Tomahawk, the P-40F, Kittyhawk II, and the P-40N, Kittyhawk IV, and the Warhawk. These planes were manufactured by Curtiss Wright Corporation.
