I heard the one in my photo start up and it sounded terrible. Like a tin can full of bolts and nails being shaken.

Almost as noisy as a Ducati. Surprised me considering how quiet the ST1300 is.

@Britman: which is funny considering that both are V4s.

I guess mother Honda really knows how to make engines (singles, flat 4, flat 6, V4, V2, 2, 4 and 6 parallels engines, etc).

Britman,

It looks like you have a dual horn setup there. I was thinking of doing the same thing. Do your ears bleed when you use them?

My supercharged Mini Cooper makes my socks roll up and down when I nail it.

The Motus motor has about 10 or 15 more horses  cooldude with a sweet powerband
between about 2.5k and 6.5k (redlines around 7)... Jay Leno said something about how
a Motus beats the snot out of a Corvette in power-to-weight...

-Mike "some go-cart!"

Mike, I don't think the Cooper qualifies as one of the so called smart cars.  It's a genuine small performance vehicle.

Somewhere there's a picture of me and Smokin' Joe in a Smart Car.

He probably had it suppressed, somehow  Wink
