[applespeed]

Has anyone ever owned or seen an X4?

[LDH]

Nope and in doo-doo brown I guess I am kinda glad for that...

Hmmmm, dual rate springs, maybe progressives but they look like dual rate from the pic.

[PAULIBIKER]

That motor looks HUGE!!!!!!!!!! What size is it?

[applespeed]

1300cc inline 4

[Lemonhead]

Nighthawk on steroids ? Id ride that. In black.

[Bigdaa]

The motor is underpowered. No need to speed regulate it. Remember in the movie "Stand By Me" the "Lardass" story?

Well, there you go...................



Hmmm, if Honda put the big V-4 in it..........well, that would be another kind of flying altogether!

[AllanB]

Some imported pre-loved ones in New Zealand.

Look OK. Kind of like a big curvy girlfriend.

I'm sure I've read somewhere that the engine is a predecessor to the current CB1300 motor.

[applespeed]

Looks nice in white I think

Being slow and all, why and the F.... do they call it a V-max.
It's a inline 4.

V-Max fighter........


But, that's just a name.

Wouldnt be caught dead on one but an old neighbor rode one. I had it pegged as a straight-line bike but the wear pattern on the rear tire suggests it can be pushed quite bit on the curves as well.

...tho I guess that's due more to the pilot than the bike.

Seriously, I've never met a motorcycle I didn't like in one way or another.


Saw a guy bangin' down the highway today on a very nice Black Norton Commando......vintage. Mmmmmmm mmmmmm.

Thats right Sir, I'm with ya on that.......

The picture of the white one reminds me of the old Kawasaki Eliminator.

As a former Zephyr 1100 owner I can appreciate this bike.

[V65rider]

Weird looking bike, I am kind of partial to the old Honda V65 Magnas, they were the original Vmax fighter.

DO NOT race a 900 Eliminator stop light to stop light.

Those things are WAY fast to 60.

They are, wonder how they stack up to our 9r's?

[ratcatcher]

Hi
It (CB1300) is very low geared only has a 5 speed box so you are always looking for another gear.My good lady has a GSX1400 that has better torgue and 6 speeds so it feels less frantic.I will compare them against the 900 Hornet if (when) I get it finished.There are not many 900 Eliminator's over here so cannot test against it.But will keep a look out.

[FlyCatcher]

You can't miss one if you see it. Have never seen another bike with a profile like the Eliminator. Bit of a rare bird. Used to see a few back in the 80's but for the most part, I think they led a hard life. Only made for one purpose. Stoplight to stoplight. Power was basically identical to the Hornet at 105hp/63ftlb, but the weight was over 500lbs. I hear they were geared pretty low so they should be competitive against a hornet, depending on the rider of course.

If they get the "jump" on you it's over....................

[oak1971]

I raced one on my Zephyr 1100, but we were rudely interrupted by the police. Never did settle that score. I think he would have beat me.

The ZL1000 was even more powerful. Have yet to see one.
