Another Honda

Having exploited the potential of the 250 cc twin the lust for power and sophistication led me to this Vee Twin - an across the frame engine like the famed Moto Guzzi, driven by a shaft instead of a chain.  Further sophistication involved water cooling, a petrol gauge, pressed stainless wheels without spokes and four valves per cylinder.
This baby was capable of well over the "ton" a 60s term for 100 mph

You have got to slot in a BSA and sidecar somewhere- brum, brum, bip bip hot hot!
 
Slot in?
We had to push the d--- thing from Maxstoke to Shustoke when we ran out of petrol - up hill all of the way.
