It cut through chain with no damage?!

It's probably 3V or equivalent. I watched a youtube video (that I can't find for the life of me) of a guy hammering a 3V chopper through what must have been a 1/2" thick and roughly 6" diameter iron pipe. By the end, the only real appreciable damage was to the spine from the hammer.
 
This kind of test is just a crap way of advertising... it just proof nothing.

You don't need sharp edge to cut through steel. All you need is hardened steel blade with unsharpen edge and a steel chopping block (or anvil) and a hammer to do this. Same way as how bolt cutter work.

In my country there are so many knife makers do this kind of trick to sale their work.

^ this.

Yup, it's a knife blade shape bolt cutter. Which can be made from any steel from 1050 and up, hardened to 56+rc.

That's still a beautiful bike. My grandfather bought one before his cavalcade and then sold it to my uncle, same bike. The 750 engine my bike has was used in a lot if drag bikes from what I've gathered. It's an 82, 6 years older than me.

Noss, and his hammer of truth?
 
Ahh the old guys that owned the old shop where I would take my bike in NYC used to talk a out the 1100 and 750 with reverence. They would bore out the 750 go street drag racing. But they also had the 1100s (personal bikes) sitting around. I always presumed they bored out the 750 and put in a reenforced sleeve. I guess there are limits too. Fun bike!

My wife on her Supersport, before she switched over to a GSXR750. I was riding the old man bike at the time a Honda Superchicken.

My grandfather had an 04 gold wing in the blue that changes color in different light. He picked the front end up off the ground on a take off one time, at 72 years old lol. Impressive.
