Re: Thanks for the constructive criticism

" totally devoid of all reasonable arguments.."

Oh, bullshyt. I've given plenty of reasonable arguments and asked you reasonable questions. You just choose to ignore them. Look again.

Re: This intelligent post of LightninRVF750 needs more visibility

Did you link my response, too?

Honda abandoning the V-4 for production racing is commonly attributed to the high cost, complexity and weight. The 1-liter Ducs were kicking the shyte out of everyone in WBSK for the better part of a decade so Honda got wise and and built the

RC-51 1000cc twin. Besides, the I-4s were delivering similar performance to the V-4s at a lower cost. You know what the RC-30 and 45 cost? They were hardly production bikes that you were likely to stroll down to your dealer and buy. They were high-priced, high-spec, low-production homolgation specials. I think they made a lot more money on the 51 and the CBRs.

Furthermore, you think Honda was happy about only one AMA and WSBK title for the V-4s in the '90s? I doubt it with the amount of money they spent. Then once the rules changed, they saw the writing on the wall and ditched the V-4. The rules dictated that they change direction. Just like the new MotoGP rules have made V-4s more appealing to them again.

That said, I'd love to see some new V-4s, but tell me again how V-4s are inherently superior to other engine configurations?

There was this little thing called the 250cc deficit all 4 cylinder bike had compared to the V-Twins..

Re: Well it didn't take long. kpaul's short rebuttal

I fully acknowledge I could be wrong on any opinion that I have. But, as you claim of me being wrong, I am sure you can specify in what particular point. Or maybe you can´t.

Can you?

I am not saying its the problem of education but perhaps you should have taken more debating classes. Mind is such a terrible thing to waste. And in some cases, and I don´t want to start pointing fingers here, shortride, waste is such a terrible thing to mind.

Actually, I thought they dropped it because it was being regulated out of competition. Much like the RB-engine-based Chrysler Race Hemi.

Could be wrong - I've been wrong before - will be again...........
