Member Contributer interceptor69 Posted August 30, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted August 30, 2020 Guess how many VFR's made the cut. https://www.motorcyclistonline.com/story/news/top-10-classic-honda-motorcycles/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Cogswell Posted August 30, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted August 30, 2020 Honda's made so many, it's tough to sift through all their great bikes. Still, considering that the 5th Gen was Motorcyclists' Motorcycle of the year (MOTY) in 1998, it seems like that would be hard to overlook - but they did. Also, note that while they mention the CB750 as a 1969 model, the photo shown is a later model. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer interceptor69 Posted August 30, 2020 Author Member Contributer Share Posted August 30, 2020 Yes, I was surprised by the 5th gen omission as well. Wish I'd never sold my RC51...Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimC Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 No VTEC, yo? 😅 Though I've only owned a 6th gen, I'd agree the 5th gen should have made the list. They should have had an honorable mention section with the 5th gen, Blackbird, and Rune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, they are an inline 4. Still wouldn't mind owning one, but they don't seem to come up very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always preferred the looks of the Blackbird to the similarly fast Hayabusa and ZX-14. Back when it was made, it was one of the very few sportbikes with that kind of power that could be used as a sport-tourer without many mods for rider comfort.
