Mom does this Venison BBQ that is to just die for, and we are spoiled, because one of her neighbors gives her a doe each fall, nice young tender meat. Damn, you making me hungry and it's not even 8:30 yet

Most interesting, 101hp from a normally aspirated 1.4 ain't bad, the CRX-Si stock was 1.6 with 108 hp
# Base engine size: 1.4 L
# Cam type: Single overhead cam (SOHC)
# Cylinders: inline 4
# Valves: 16
# Valve timing: Variable
# Torque: 98 ft-lbs. @ 4000 rpm
# Horsepower: 101 hp @ 6500 rpm

I have to assume snotty in this context is complimentary
It is one heck of a mechanical masterpiece that's for sure
And the dam spec sheet reads on this thing Honda pulled out all the stops for GEN5
Boy do I wish that Honda still lived today

It's the Yamaha YZF-R1 that impresses me today...
Back for 2011, the YZF-R1 is the only production motorcycle with a crossplane crankshaft. Crossplane technology, first pioneered in MotoGP® racing with the M1, puts each piston 90° from the next, with an uneven firing interval of 270°- 180°- 90°- 180°. This uneven order does an amazing thing… it actually lets power build more smoothly. That means smooth roll-on delivery out of the corners, with outstanding tractability, followed by very strong high rpm power. It’s a feeling that’s simply unmatched, like having two engines in one: the low-rpm torquey feel of a twin with the raw, high-rpm power of an inline four. This breakthrough technology on the YZF-R1 represents a paradigm shift in both technology and performance.
Have it your way, thanks to Yamaha D-MODE (or “Drive Mode”) variable throttle control. There are three modes that control how YCC-T responds to throttle input from the rider. The selectable “A” mode puts more emphasis on engine response in low to midrange rpm. “B” mode, on the other hand, provides less sharp response to input for riding situations that require especially sensitive throttle operation. The standard map is designed for optimum overall performance. Selecting the map you want is as easy as pressing a button on the handlebars.

True. Guys were playing with crank phasing for some time. Different cams and linking coils a bunch of fellows were making big-bang VFR's back in the day.
2 cylinders firing at the same time made for a great drive out of the corners...
