5th Gen any day, all day. If you want VTEC, get an 8th Gen. I wouldn't be too worried about spares. Consumables like pads, sprockets, and chain...
A 1998 with that low miles might have the original Regulator in there. It probably didn't even get a chance to have the Honda upgraded chunky...
If you really want one they are still available from mother Honda new, or you can grab a used one off eBay. 40515-MBG-000

All I pull is the left fairing. The process can be made a little quicker too. This:...
I'm running standard H4s, just bent the bottom two tabs towards the plug side. I'm not familiar with MOT inspections, but I don't follow how the...
