But no...He's my favorite designer of all time. But not because of the RR. He's my favorite because I read a quote from him once saying the V4 was the perfect motor for both street and track. As an owner of an '86 500 Interceptor and '91 VFR who seemed to constantly find himself surrounded by people that thought my 500 was a twin with dual plugs, and that an RC45 was a V-twin, and quots like "what the hell is a VFR, oh isn't that like a Goldwing?"; it was so nice to have someone that smart and accomplished say what I already knew. :Djazclrinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02114247072269959389noreply@blogger.com
