    Yeah I read that thread - you threw alot of money at it . Good job !

    BTW , Aprilia's doing's in WSB for 2010 might have been the ultimate deciding factor if Honda does bring a liter V4 back to market. If they do , I kinda hope that one's a V-5 .

    I liked the V-5 , strangely it was only Honda who could make concept work, Roberts made their own V5 , but unfortunenatly it didn't work as well as the Honda, maybe if they had put more effort in development?

    Honda did a great job on the V-5, using the extra cyln to balance the engine was great. From memory King Kenny had to use 2 counter balance shafts on his design.
    they also used what they learned from the V-5 to eliminate the counter balance shaft on the VFR 1200.
