Vibration/power etc?
Yeah I was reading that so thats why I asked. I'm more interested in the feeling of riding a V4 than the numbers really. For instance, is power generated exponentially like an I4? And do they vibrate any at lower RPMs? Those kinds of things.bpmull said:the vfr's are v4's so just find out how they perform compared to the I4's
i just thought it was a weird question since most bikes are not V4's... anyways, i rode my buddies 90 or 91 (not to sure about the year) VFR for about 120 miles on the highway, and i thought it was pretty smooth. not as fast as my 01 R6, but i am sure the newer ones are. it was pretty solid, being a Handa and all... also, it had a Yoshimura system and i thought it sounded really nice. i didn't really think that it felt much different. not sure if it was just cuz it was old, but as far as vibration, i think it shook more at high RPMs than on my R6. well take my opinion how you want, as i am comparing an early 90s VFR 750 to my 01 R6... but i don't think that it was a noticeable difference.Tekvicious said:Are you all retards?? He asked about V4's not radial engines or turbines or something hard to find.
VFR all V4
RC30/45 v4
RZ500

Suzuki Madura v4
Honda Sabre v4
Stop acting as if he asked for a nuclear power tricycle.
AMEN Smitty!Smitty said:I think a lot of young 'uns had best do as the rest of us have done for ages. We look up what the makers offer & read the specification sheets for it feeds us a lot of info & so much better then looking for which is faster then the other by a few mph.
We also buy & swamp m/c mags with the others & read them from front to back ESPECIALLY where there is info on a new bike or possibly a test.
In this way when someone asks a sensible question then you can give a sensible answer.
True I am not interested in Cruisers yet I read the write-ups. I am no longer a dirt comp rider though I keep up with what is on the market. .
I ride a 01 VFR.. the power comes in a very linear way, from the low end all the way to the top. Check out this chart, HP is almost in a straight line and torque is there even at low rpm's.King Cobra said:Yeah I was reading that so thats why I asked.
