‘This thing sounds amazing, what kind of engine does it have?’ ‘Four-pot DOHC, 16 valves, makes 656cc and 72 bhp at 9500 rpm. The drivetrain sits in a tubular-steel cradle frame and is mounted on rubber, so the vibrations are very well controlled. The four carburettors are a bit devilish to tune, but the cool bit about this engine is that Honda put in things called hydraulic valve-lash adjusters in the cylinder heads.
