good to see some on road footage instead of just static pics.

thanks for sharing.

 

Hmm!! Looks bloody ugly. Not in a good (Speed Triple) way. Will reserve judgment until i actually see one in the flesh. Despite claims of a sportsbike, it seems to be aimed more at the touring brigade. Not sure about pillion accommodation either.

 

it kind of reminds me of the ktm superduke but i think no matter what it will be probly twice what i would be willing to spend on a bike.

 

Interesting that the first video indicates the valvetrain is Unicam.....or for those of who can remember what it was called in the 70's - SOHC. I wonder what the reasoning was for going from dual camshafts to a single cam.

 

honda has been toying with the uni cam engine since 02 on the crf450r it has pruvin to be durable and one cam weighs less than two . the differance between sohc and uni-cam is on a uni-cam engine the cam itself operates the intake valves and uses rockers the operate exh valves where a sohc uses rockers for all valves , it also helps cetralize mass by offseting the cams to the center of the engine

 

I understand the history of the sohc engine and Honda has been playing with it long before 2002 and the CR450F. Since my earlier post, I have gone back through a couple engine design reference books I have laying around and I believe I now understand why they have chosen sohc over the dohc setup. Back to the future.
