I remember these:

''...32 valves and eight con-rods incorporated into the dimensions of a regular four cylinder motorcycle engine...''

Mental and stunning!!

Lovely bikes and iirc Honda UK sold some very very very cheaply due to poor sales...now they are extremely rare and. valuable of course.
That one is okay I suppose

There were nearly £40k new!!! There's a lot of love for old top end Hondas - RC30s and RC45 go for lots too, it's only as ridiculous as that Yeti from a few months back....

In about 1998 I saw one for sale for £25,000.....
