[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 208147, member: 98"] Been on another ride last night ....I’m starting to get a really good feel on the bike now ....it’s easy for me now to see why the 84 standard is the fastest oldwing of the 4 cylinders ....the gearing on this bike can be said to be tall gearing in every gear it’s got ....I have to change totally how I ride the bike ....this gearing puts quite the load on the clutch and motor ...so much so one wants to not mess with it much till the clutch is fully engaged ....two gears gets you to 70mph really quick it seems .....80 mph in fifth gear motor is just getting started in its power zone will pass with ease from there in roll on power ....it’s very easy for to see this is the best long haul gearing Honda ever made in oldwing.....I always thought hooch with the 86 gearing was just a bit short on being tall enough....84 seems to have no faults here at all ...so being in the right gear as in low enough is very important.... One thing is for sure .... if you. Get on it in any gear ..you better be ready ...your fixing to instantly over shoot your down road aim ..where a slight corner becomes dangerous ... the. Level of. Respect has to go up to safely ride this bike ... [/QUOTE]
