@@alanflack I was involved with a team that raced one back in the day. As a road bike they are typically Honda reliable. As a race bike, they need a lot of maintenance and being a V4, aren't as simple to do major engine work on as an inline 4. Mine's a track bike because even by today's 200 + BHP super sports bikes. Even with it's restricted std power, it's still too easy in this camera infested world to lose your license by riding near the red line! Better to be able to use all of it freely on a circuit than have to bimble about @ 20 MPH!
Epic stuff, thank you! 👍
I'm retired now but I so remember these years. I also own my dream bike, the Honda RC30!
That was the bike I think we all wanted 70mph in first gear, sounded and looked great

@@johnnyrvf best place to use them is on the track, roads not in good condition to ride them properly and to easy to go fast on them.
