[QUOTE="Little Honda, post: 114252, member: 667"] Hi, Alan, I choosed this nom de plume, cause I still like my 1989 250cc, 4cyl- twin cam, 4 valve, 20.000rpm little Honda CBR250R, which is an unforgettable experience to ride. This little masterpiece of motorcycle- engineering is a demonstration of the world´s largest motorcycle manufacturer of his abilities, been built without economical restrictions. It is still unparalleled 30 years later by any other motorcycle in this class. You cannot simply ride it like any other electronically controlled heavy, overpowered modern bike. You must always be aware, how it works and concentrate on its power caracteristics and learn a very precise riding style. Only then, you will enjoy to dance with it, astonishing any other rider on machines of 4 times the power of your 45hp - bee. Its breaking abilities have to be learned, it´s unbelievable! It feels, if the dentist is pulling your teeth! All in all, most reliable, also at highest level of rpm, always clean, no engine breathing problems, whatsoever, and will leave its rider with a grin on his face every time, he returns home. I knew Paul Richardson quite well, have spent many days in his house in Stevenage near the works. He too, liked a little Honda, a CB400 F, aircooled, which was quite popular in these days (late seventies/eighties). He helped me a lot to rebuild my first Rapide by letting me avoid beginner´s mistakes and is one of the reasons, that I am still a Vincent man, 50 years later. cheers, Michael [/QUOTE]

The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
