Hi guys, has anyone rode a small capacity Honda V4. Like the 400 or the 500 maybe even a 750 VF.
I had a Pan European ST1100 and it was super smooth and linear in its power delivery.
Had it not been for the super silly place they put the Alternator I would probably still be riding it.
Just curious.
Gee.
Ps, I still want a CX500 turbo but might need to sell a bike.....aye right as if that will happen!

At 6ft4 Mark, not for me sad to say.
I was just curious about the V4 power delivery.
The 400 has 55 hp similar to Rona's 400SF at 53. Her SF is a dream to ride, so smooth but with a definite powerband above 6k.
I would have thought the VF to be even smoother through the range.
They do look the dogs bollocks though.
Cheers.

They are a pour sports bike not a lot below 8000 and when the restrictors are removed a jap thing as mine and most in the UK are grey imports but up to 16000 no problem and the noise from those gear driven cams and the very noisy can compulsorily and a 17in rear wheel more choice for tyres made it a very close second to my buell. It made me realise you do not need 1000cc and 200hp to have fun on a track
