Straight gear-driven dual camshafts with self-silencing gears to reduce some of the whine
399 cc liquid cooled DOHC 16 valves, I4
55.2 bhp and 29 lb-ft
11.3:1 compression
Someday I want another I4, preferably something kinda small like a 400-600 and something without fairings

Ok, now I have been doing some reading...
I saw the F and just assumed it was a 4, as in 4-cylinders, but in reality it's a parallel twin, only 2-cylinders
For me this makes the bike much less interesting as I really prefer I4's and V4's
I am impressed though with the fact that Honda is creating new models, this is something they really need to be doing even if I'm not a fan of them all
Looking through the bikes on Honda's website, the one that attracts me the most, is a tad bigger than what I would like, but it's got the right engine type and look... CB1100
If they made that in a 500 it would be winner winner chicken dinner

So it seems as though my bike riding muscles are just starting to itch as daytona bike week is still about 6 weeks away, really hoping that Honda comes out with something newer and more for the cruiser class, as is only the goldwing gl6 and the 1300 line up. Miss the styling that was in bikes like the vtx1800n and the rune, although the big bikes are coming to an end
