That's where I got my avatar, which is the CB1100's chief developer smoking a butt while standing next to his creation.

Minami : Basically, straight-four is smooth if the four pistons move in the same way. I thought that running and feeling "muddy" would be a direction to change it little by little.
As a result, we shifted the valve timing between the 1st and 2nd cylinders and the 3rd and 4th cylinders, and while changing the timing little by little, we found a sensuous feeling such as the "misalignment" of combustion that people feel. It is.

I found the CB1100 Engineers talk using Google. But it is in Japanese so I used the translate button and then copied the above. Anyway, here is where I found it: https://www.honda.co.jp/tech/motor/engin.../episode1/

There's a deep-seated affinity for the cadence of the human heartbeat. Bump-bump....bump-bump...bump-bump.

It just feels more alive than bump-bump-bump-bump-bump-bump.

Lord Popgun, I found the English version that Honda took off the global site in the Wayback Machine. You can download PDF files of the pages [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=16853&pid=295496#pid295496]here.

Thank you Mr. Peabody! Think I’ll download them!

Mscb1100 said the same thing when we met at the Berea rally! He said something like, "I thought, 'Who is that guy? A little Japanese dude smoking a cigarette.' I thought that was what you looked like."

This thread is fun. ::grabs popcorn::
