Honda's new Pan European- and Blackbird-replacing V4 can run as a twin, triple or V4, not just the parallel twin and four-cylinder modes expected, MCN has discovered.
I'm sure Honda have done their research , but is this engine arrangement what people really want :?:

That sounds like it's going to be expensive to me :!:

Nice find Marra.

Looks like a Beemer clone. How expensive are those services going to be! Seems to lose a bit of the spirit of biking to me - I don't even like 4 cylinder bikes for the same reason!

Now, a VTR1200, that would be grrrrrreat
Two bikes, still only four cylinders!

Has anyone ever tried actually boring out the VTR cylinder going with new sleeves / pistons etc?

I don't think there is enough metal there to allow this.
