| | |
| == Overview ==
| |
| By 1989 the British twin cylinder motorcycles
| |
| were replaced by British triples and primarily by the Japanese bikes. Each year
| |
| the Tourist Trophy race was held on the Isle of Man and Honda was determined to
| |
| bring back the flavor of those British twins with a bike that had look of the
| |
| Norton and Triumph racing bikes. Honda responded by launching its GB500
| |
| (commonly known as the tourist trophy) as a retro-bike with styling and
| |
| components that recalled fond memories for many motorcyclists of the classic
| |
| British cycles. The GB500 was a clever package, designed to appeal to a new
| |
| market that no current motorcycle maker had tapped: the classic, collectible
| |
| cycles and the older enthusiast.
| |
| The GB is a sleeved down [[Honda XL600R|XL600]] engine displacing
| |
| 498cc.. This means that it has the same stroke as the XL600 i.e 75mm. Its also
| |
| running 8.9:1 compression so kickstarts are easy. The engine has a gear driven
| |
| balance shaft that is positioned at the front of the engine. This certainly
| |
| helps keep it tame all the way to its 7800 red line. The single overhead cam is
| |
| driven by chain that is on the right hand side of the engine. The Honda RFVC
| |
| (Radial Four Valve Cam?) valve gear is accessed through the four separate
| |
| covers.
