Thought about the VFR lump in the TRX too, would be excellent!

Yep, apart from valve clearance checks / shimming being required at the right intervals those motors will do 200,000 miles with little attention, gear driven camshafts should be compulsory on motorcycles!
Possibly Honda`s best engine through their history. :wink:

Now then lad that`s the question? Anyone near a VFR motor and have got a tape measure handy?
If it does go in the `hole` I reckon the biggest stumbling block would be fitting all this in around that TRX rear H section casting:
