New addition

Post by RuZty »

Still working on the RZ's winter upgrades so I picked this up to tide me over;

It makes some nice noises, lots of grunt and fairly roomy. Full exhaust system on the way, for which I'll fab a high mount to clear the rear wheel. Not crazy about the linked braking system.

Nice find Russ. You can cover a lot of miles comfortably with that one.

Those V4s sound great to me, and it looks like you've found a peach.

Yeah, price was right, reasonable mileage (54 000 km), and I've always liked the earlier Honda V4's. That sound will get me in trouble, it definitely has 'presence'.
I got it from a coworker who retired last year, we went for a ride in the fall and I told him to let me know if he ever wanted to sell it. As soon as we were allowed to go outside again I went to pick it up. Thanks for the positive comments.
