I know it's not a Honda CBR, but this caught my eye...

100ci pushrod v4 - veddy nice! i like how it looks to be almost all gear drive (can't tell about oil pump from the animation)

look at those damn trumpets on the TBs!

i'm not a fan of the sport tourers, so i dont know about the bike (except i do have a thing for trellis frames), but that thing as a fighter would be the business. flat power curve, sounds amazing, and i like the orientation of the engine (as opposed to viffers).


honda or not, i don't care

Gone the Guzzi route, which always made life interesting when you bump your knees or shins on the motor. Never stopped them from being a great bike though.
Like the idea of never having to worry about adjusting the valves, inverted forks & wave rotors, very tasty. Can imagine what the price of the thing will be if it ever reached here though.

o i'm sure that its going to be hella expensive.


but man, if it wasn't, that trellis frame and motor would make a great motor/frame combo for a fighter. especially if there was any way to have those trumpets stick out.

well, at least there's more incentive to wear pants (with respect to the banging your knees on it)

Sort of along these lines? (Sure its only a twin, but still puts out 110 bhp)
