...never mind the actual look of the bike - I haven't ridden one, but the looks I've had when I've seen one, suggest they almost ripped up the design brief of the previous bikes and missed the point of why they were so successful.
I miss mine, that's for sure... and that one had had a pretty hard life before I had it.
Fuel consumption was one bugbear - I got mine down to 24mpg one particularly hard use tankful, whereas even on the FOT, the CBR I'd had before still managed over 35mpg.
Yup - one cam in each head - 2 valves per cylinder all lined up down the centre line of the head so that the single cam can operate the valves directly via shim under bucket.
The older ones were hydraulic tappets - but the shim under bucket don't often need adjusting.
