At the V4Hondabbs Spring Get Together this year we had a new visitor. This little jewel came in from CT for a spin through the mountains. It sounded real good and from what I was told it would be right at home in the NC hills. Unfortunate for me, I felt like I was straddling a shetland pony so I didn't feel comfortable taking it for a ride. From what I was told, it is a Japanese bike with the metric speedo so I'd have to do to much math to avoid performance awards. No doubting this one has gear driven cams.

Here's a link to a flyby video

very nice. Always liked this colour scheme.

Very nice!  Doing the math is not bad, I do it on one of mine.  Just take the first number (or 2) and multiply by 6, 100 km/h is 62 mph. So, 60 km/h is roughly 36 mph, 120 km/h is roughly 72 mph and so on...

I owned one of those way back when, it had no trouble keeping up with my ZX-10 riding friends on curvy roads. I agree that the Rothmans scheme is the best, mine was in the RC30 colours.
