Honda V4 loveliness…

First ride this year. It’s ‘only’ a 35 year old 750 but my word. Came home, had a small sit down. WHAT a thing, no car comes even close!

Stunning

95% of the time it’s fundamentally awkward, impractical, runs hot, heavy clutch, heavy to turn at low speed, etc, etc. But when, when the road is clear, and you wind it on hard from 4000 rpm upwards, the filthy airbox snarl, exhaust note, the sheer drive, the utter visceral-ness of it all.
I’ll have to have another sit down……!!!

Got my V4 Pan for winter duties and just in the process of rebuilding/fettling a non starting VFR800 (pre vtec yo!)

Great engines...

I don't know if it was just me but the pics didn't show up on my iPad so I've edited the links above.

What a beauty! Rarely jealous of modern day sports bikes, but something like this... absolutely!

They’re standard RC30 forks.
