... yeah, wasn't sure; and too lazy to check.
Thx Dave.

You're welcome!
My 1998 Honda VFR800 (best bike I ever owned) has gear driven cams. This makes it SO much easier to adjust the valves - no cam chain or cam chain sprocket(s) to remove.
I performed the first two valve inspections on this bike at the recommended mileage, and both times all the clearances were in spec. I didn't have to adjust any valves until I reached 56,000 miles (bike now has 116,000 miles).

That is pretty darn convenient.
