Good one Steve, I nearly bought one of those at an auction years ago just for the novelty of a turbocharged, pushrod, liquid cooled transverse twin powered oddball of a bike

A friend of mine still has one that he bought brand new when they first came out ...... even went up to Honda UK in Chiswick to pick up the crate as soon as it was available and helped build it up for PDI
A surprisingly capable bike with very good performance for a 25yr old 500 but let down by 20-25mpg when kept on boost (cruising at 90mph)
