Newbie!
hello people,

My name is Dave and I have recently found the joy of owning a bike, more accuratly a CX500B '81. I'm 20 livin' in Kingston-Upon-Thames, England. I go to uni there where I study Automotive System Engineering Design (BEng). I need more money everyday, as I am but a poor student.. .
Lol.
Think thats it, although looking back...it looks more like an ad for the lonely hearts column!
Newhos, nice to meet you!
David

Re: Newbie!
Ok, first dumbass question....are you ready for this?
Is the 84 (ish) VF500F2 a 4-stroke or a 2-stroke ?
I'm looking at getting one to do up whilst I get the FULL enjoyment from my 24year old CX . Probably the wrong place for this post but, I'm still trying to get my head around this place!

Cheers For the warm welcome!
David

Welcome!

It is a four stroke V-four configuration engine. It is also a very sweet bike. Enjoy!

Don't want to be an ass, but..... what a Automotive System Engineering Designer do?

Just messing with you man. Like Phode said, it's a 4 stroke.
