I came back
Just wanted to say Hi again. I was a member (more of a lurking member) a few years ago, then disapperared, and now I have reapperared. Just waiting to give my 2 cents once again. I have been to and through other sites, but this is by far one of the best for CBR's. As Dorthy says, there is no place like home.

Not those rolling tin cans,....... just kidding. A buddy of mine had one for a summer and I loved swaping with him and riding it, it was a whole different feeling of power.

Ok, can I generalize and say Hondas with that make you happy

My first street legal love affair was with a little VF500; then I whored around with a VF700C Magna... candy apple! Then back to a '89 VFR. Next came one of my all time favourite bikes: '96 VFR . Gawd... I still lust for those gear driven cams - sounds like a Roots supercharger whine - with that bassa nova bass beat from the TBR carbon fibre full exhaust system - a bit like a NASCAR Chevy V-8.

Anyone who complains about changing out the headers on an I-4 should spend an afternoon - the whole afternoon - with a varied set of flex wrenches/extensions scraping the flesh off your digits just to get to the two rear cyl. Loads of fun! Talk about a boat anchor. The stock exhaust on a Viffer could stop an aircraft carrier.

These rabid V-4 fans are to be watched and feared: because they can wax on incessantly about their beloved and maligned bikes.

Amongst my other infidelities were such tarts as two (yes 2, one I raced, one was for street) '93 Double RR's; a '98 RR. Really stuck my privates in my zipper with a '00 R1, and yet another R1 the last being a '02. Now I'm on a '05 RR.

I LOVE my '05 RR. If Honda would pull their collective head out of their @$$ and build a full litre V-4 (or 1200-1400) I'd buy it in a New York Minute! A replacement for the BlackBird. Leave that stupid V-Tech off it. Go back to the gear driven cams; double nozzle FI like the RR. Give it a bit of attitude instead of some sanitized ST. Beat Ducati at the "soul" game: build a bike that has Honda history, and Honda reliability.

Cheers
