  1. I love these, but 2000 made? It's limited production, but there are more limited runs out there, and cheaper too.
     
  2. Ugg, would not give it garage space ! Bodywork doe not fit the engine style, and the rear wheel single-sided thingy looks all wrong ( probably will get banned now !)
     
  3. Ban him!


    BAN HIM AT ONCE!!!
     
  4. Have to say I'm with Dave on this one, each to their own, but it does nothing for me. I wouldn't give it house room either
     
  5. I think they're beautiful, swore I'd get one after seeing the prototype but single seat and empty wallet made me bottle out. The chopper sized petrol tank is a joke though (75miles range) and the forks are non adjustable. This ones in good nick but way overpriced imho, £9-10k is the max I've seen them sell for.

    check out his other bikes!

  6. I love it. And at some point I will own one. But how I get it past swmbo and into the garage has to be resolved first. :smile:
     
  7. Have you seen his other bikes

    Wtf is that at 100k
     
  8. There's a few interesting specimens isn't there
     
  9. Do you mean the Honda? I believe it had oval pistons but I'm sure there is someone on here with far more knowledge.
     
  10. It had oval pistons. (Well, I think they were oblong with rounded ends).

    It also had (I believe) a couple of conrods per cylinder. I think the idea was a sort of V8 in a V4 thing. Hideously expensive when it came out, so unsurprisingly ridiculously expensive now. There never was any great point to it in terms of power or handling - it wasn't raced, as I recall and the RC30 was around to win plenty of things anyway. I think it was more a tour de force by the engineers for their own amusement and the greater glory of Honda.
