If the weather was warmer, I'd drag the VFR out tomorrow afternoon. The greatest ever 4-pot sound. What did they do with the new VFR800? Sounds much better than the previous V4; more like a V8. Mike They use a 'big bang' firing order - so it's firing 2 pots at once. I had assumed they all did that, but the 800Fi definitely does. If you're talking about the latest 800, then it's all down to the magic of VTEC. |

1380 A-series There's something quite Jekyll and Hyde about an A-series with an LCB strapped to the back....even at low revs they sound fabulous. |

I presumed that they'd changed the firing order, but I couldn't decide as to what. The old V4s sounded like V4s. When the 800 came out is sounded different. I would have thought that a 'big bang' firing order would result in a V-Twin sound, but maybe it's all down to the other things like the exhaust, and as you say, VTEC etc. Mike |

Does '4 pot' include rotary engines? Not exactly a pot, but a chamber. Maybe a chamber pot!
Anyway, how about a 4-rotor sound? Here's my favourite:
Totally ridiculous. Reminds me of the Yamaha TZ750 sound.

Vatanen in a Manta 400...not just the noise, just imagine doing a cattle grid sideways at about 130mph...balls like Spacehoppers. |
