  2. Love these little V4 Hondas, one of the best bikes i ever owned was one. Back in the early 2000s while passing a car yard that used to import 2nd hand cars from Japan to NZ, i spotted a bike sitting at the back of the yard, i could see it was a RVF400, the model after this one. It was mint, but what caught my eye was the full TSR (Technical Sports Racing) exhaust with under and over mufflers and a Suzuka 8hr style single offset headlight fairing. They said it had just come in with a container of vehicles. It wasn't running, but they said they were going to look at it "when they got around to it". I made a ridiculously low offer, and he accepted. Got it home and was blown away, someone in Japan had spent serious Yen on this bike, apart from the trick exhaust and bodywork, they had fitted HRC ecu, airbox and jet kit, and bigger top and bottom radiators. The only thing i had to do was clean the carbs, (it had been left to sit with fuel in them, hence why it wouldn't start) and fit a Nitron shock and fork springs to suit my weight, they come with soft suspension for smaller Japanese riders. That bike was amazing, down a twisty road it was stunning, and no slouch down the straights. Was dynoed at 68hp at the rear wheel, I ended up selling it to a guy who had pestered me to sell it to him, the whole time i owned it, big mistake. Can't wait for this resto.

  3. When i played as Taurox, the Lizard men were the only faction that gave me any real trouble, by the time i got to South Lustria it was end game and they were the number one power (just), i beat them but it was a tough campaign. :-)

  4. One thing i love about restoring different bikes, is seeing how different manufactures designed their bikes. I'm into 80s bikes and the big four were really trying everything and anything back then, each had their own approach and style.
