  • Glad the Honda VFR is getting lots of love in these comments. It’s the V4 bike of the masses. I love my 5th gen.
  • @Heyoka-gq4wl
    I read somewhere on the internet that part of the reason V4’s dominate in MotoGP is because part of the crankshaft is external, allowing manufacturers to add weights, which change the characteristics of the power delivery, depending on the track
  • @mau-ol5ii
    GSX-RR was crossplane design... And ducati "superior v4" is dominating WSBK with rules that allows it 16100 RPM while kawasakis inline 4 is limited by regulations to 15100 RPM to level the playing field.... and that is for 2024 season, in 2022 ducati was allowed 16100 while kawasaki was limited by rules to 14100... So V4 is "dominating WSBK" when you put on it 60kg rider and put 2000RPM penalty to competitor....

    Emissions is nonsense. Motorcycles represent such a small part of the problem they are arguably irrelevant. So many sexy engines no longer on the market. So much horsepower left on the drawing board. Very sad
  • I went from a lifetime (20+ years) of only inline 4 sport bikes. They were good. Last year I got Tuono, and honestly I’d never go back to an I4. The bottom end and midrange aren’t even close and the sound of that engine with SC project “exhaust” (it’s an open pipe with no cat), is absolute heaven. I’m biased but I bought that bike over Ducati because the sound is my favorite.

    I had a Honda V-65 Sabre for 20 years. That V-4 was a beast and extremely dependable. I put a few batteries, tires and replaced the rear wheel bearings in all those years. The thing I remember most was the beautiful sound it made. That is what I really miss about that bike. Nope, I left the exhaust stock, it was awesome!

    Happy owner of a Honda VFR750R RC30 for 20+ Year, I just bought a VFR400R NC30 for fun. Yes, V4 are greats !
  • @jonathanwelke
    have a 2014 vfr 800. I've sat on literally 100 newer bikes since then and never purchased one.. My V4 honda is just so damn well made.... my only dream is they make a new Honda VFR 1000 or something with a new V4 engine.
  • Hey Man, I Enjoyed Your Video. The Honda 750 Four Came Out In '69. Yeah, I Was 10 & Some Memories Never Fade. Thank You.
  • Haven't watched your channel in a while and I'm glad I came back to a technical video. Great job man!
  • Presently a student at MMI. This video helped me understand a few things a little better. Thank you for making this.🌻🔧⚙️
  • Really liked this clean, organized, well articulated video of yours @yammie!! You should keep that format!
  • another great vid ✨ I'm so happy you are who you are Yamms, cause I would've had a very different experience when I started if it wasn't for you
  • @kurvaonwheels
    I really enjoyed watching this video when you speak straight, and to the point without all these memes and distrations. Excellent video.
  • @joeking4206
    As a graduate mechanical engineer who has had many bikes, this was very interesting, thank you. The bit about over-squaring an inline 4 causing it to become too wide was something I had never considered. My favourite configuration has always been inline 4. I’m 62 and this year, after a 10 year hiatus (before that I’d had bikes since I was 15) I will be buying a Z900RS as a retirement present to myself. 😊
