meh still an i4 LOL

i saw that a while ago when i was looking for help on my old vfr i sold recently :-)

i am a member of that board and the vfrworld one

 

uh, it's a long ways from an i4, it's a V4. Hence the VFR

 

i loved my old vfr (85)"miniceptor" but it was leaking oil from soooooo many places ....
i didnt think that honda could make a bad bike .... until .... i saw that other post on here ;-)

 

A lot of work but sure sounds like it will be fun to ride

 

Yep, a lot of work...how I wish I owned or had unfettered access to a machine shop... the things I could do...

 

Very popular thread there; been purged a few times to keep it manageable.

Yes it's V-Four. With the blower, it should out torque the 'hawk but at what expense we shall see. He's trying to keep it real world and eventually sell kits.

 

That looks pretty slick to me. There is probably some money to be made if marketed....

 

wonder if i could do that to my hawk ... bwahahaha

 

It could be done to a VTR, but not with the stock crankshaft... Of course, there is also the issue of getting the carbs to work with the boost (although it can be done as Yamaha proved on the early 80's Seca Turbo).

 

would be supa sweet tho

 

until the crank let go and a connecting rod came flying out the side....

 

lol and took my leg with it ;-)

 

I've been following it too, even though I don't have a viffer...

 

I remember when that thread was started. Yes, I was a member over there before here. He's trying to keep it pretty tidy and get them marketed and the last I heard he was going to be testing out a VTEC VFR. Some people hate the vtec some like it. I didn't mind it tho, it was almost like a kick in the pants when it engaged. That said, if you were going in between 6.5k-7.5k RPM it kinda sucked going in and out.

He's done some wonderful work on that machine and not to mention it's almost all handcrafted.
