VFR800 Engine, visually explained

I am still partial to the 90-270-90-270, 360* crank, and 11-00-11-00 firing order, of the VFR/RVF400, RC30, and RC45, "droner" engine.

 

No... no, no, no, no. Everyone has to like the 180 crank. It's half of a Ferrari flat-plane V8. It rumbles at idle, it lopes on off-throttle overrun. And with the camshaft drive gears mounted on the side of the engine (instead of between the cylinders) you get more of that straight-cut gear goodness.

(I'm not biased)

 

Half a Ferrari, half a crank, half....nevermind

 

although in Gregs defense I like both - so have both....lol

 

Look at you, hoarding all the NC35s for yourself...

(you should be ashamed)

 

Yep I really am...
