Where you not smart enough to realise what it was pointing out about your inadequacies.

Next thing you will be onto the red repping as your feelings are hurt....

Sorry its an interesting read anyway, I wouldn't have found it if you hadn't asked. I only looked for it as you did. I am not sure at all if they are a totally unique casting, or odd matched front or rear or just reversed.
But seeing as who was involved, I don't think money was an object.

You have got to be kidding. The VFR750 was a fantastic engine. I rode a mates VFR1200. Ugly as but the most bottom end of anything I've ridden. V4s are a useful engine (quote the fat controller).
Just rode an 1100V4 today but some Iti creation. Opened my eyes somewhat. Had to exclaim the Messiah's name a few times when the loud handle was turned. When Iparked it iIwas laughing out loud.

I have no problems with the V4 Dave,I owned a 94 750C until recently,a great bike and motor.What I was trying to say was that the word came down from on high to stop all development on the CX project and put all effort into the V4 which was probably fair enough-but-I know which motor I would rather work on

BMW nearly closed at the end of the 60's making these sorts of bikes.
I wonder if the demograph who like/want these are now too old to ride them.

I regard those Bavarian built bikes with some nostalgia. In the sixties the people assembling the engines were mechanics. The paintwork, including the hand painted lines, was done by tradesmen painters. All that ended when they opened the Berlin plant and they hired assembly workers off the street. Their product was no better than some others, and was shaded by Honda.

And yes, those of us who were riding in the sixties are getting on a bit.

I actually wonder if the same two guys designed the Cam chain tensioners and big end oiling on The CX and the VF's.

just looking at a few pics I wondered if the ST1100 was a result of VFR an CX cross pollination.
One things for sure the, CX and the ST1100 were very car looking engines.

re your other comment, The Same thing happened with the CBX750 sacrificed on account of the VF series it was a shame because the CBX750 was a pretty neat engine.
