    Hydraulic Valve Trains

    A 1979 Honda CB750 had around 72HP (not 89 as you suggested) with a red line of 9500 rpm. It also had shim over bucket valve adjustment, a huge leap forward for sure but still requiring occasional attention. There were a lot of technological leaps from the late 70s through to the early 90s, some...

    I have a feeling (with no proof obviously) that there is a little more to that story.

    Coffee

    Coffee, whiskey and wine tend to bring out the ballers (you know who you are). Timmy's serves dish water disguised as coffee but McD's is pretty good.

    Coffee

    A 4X4 is an XXL Timmy's with 4 creams and 4 sugars. Critical necessity for those long road trips.

    Hydraulic Valve Trains

    1984 and later CB550SC, CB650SC and CB750SC Nighthawks did indeed all briefly have hydraulic lifters. Look again. A 1975 Honda CB750F made around 67hp with a redline of 8,000rpm. If you spun one up to 10,200 on a regular basis you'd be looking at positive crankcase ventilation.

    Coffee

    Brew pot, 4 scoops, water, hit the switch. Sugar and cream to taste. Niles Crane: "Uh, yes. Double decaf non-fat latte, mmm... medium foam, dusted with just the faintest whisper of cinnamon." "Can you believe the incompetence of that man? I very clearly asked for a whisper of cinnamon, he's...

    Hydraulic Valve Trains

    I can't remember what that one was called, but it was like 'dreaded son of DN-01'. Honda has thrown a lot of stuff at the wall and some of it didn't stick very well. The problem was in the execution, not the concept. Oh wait, yes it was...

    I'll buy that up to a point. As an example, here are the specs for the twin cam, air/oil cooled 1984 Honda CB650SC Nighthawk. Bulletproof design and shaft drive. It, and its 550 and 750 brethren are still out there keeping it real. Engine size655.0 ccm (39.97 cubic inches) Type of...

    Hydraulic Valve Trains

    Cars and Harleys have used hydraulic valve actuation for decades, Honda dabbled with it in the mid-80s then seemed to walk away. It would seem a logical method of low maintenance valve clearance control but hasn't been adopted mainstream. Why ? Inquiring minds need to know...
