Lovely.
I had an '98 FiX a few years back - regret selling it. Nothing could beat the wonderful V4 beating through the Ixil can.

Personally the V-engines don't really do it for me. Much prefer the sound of a good CBR fireblade or Kawasaki

Lovely the Hondas, and great to ride in this weather also. I'm more of a Yamaha man, but sod the r6 few years ago when the little one was born.

Oh the memories.I had a red 750 on an m plate. Sold it an nearly cried when it went off my drive to its new home. Lasted 3 months and got a yellow 800 on a T plate which I swapped for the current one on a 58 plate.All round bikes which do everything you need from touring to brain out lunacy lol.I loved my750 and you know what they say....red ones are faster.Enjoy!

I forgot how good that V4 engine is

Oodles of power and the lovely mechanical whine of the driven cams. I'm very pleased with it and it came with some nice extras too

V4 torque = grunt from low revs. Lovely seamless power unless it's the vtec( then you get a nice little kick in the pants at 6800) and loads of engine braking.My mate nearly rear ended me a couple of times on a ride in Wales cos he didn't realise how quickly I could slow down without touching the brakes! Get a high rise Remus exhaust on it and you will be really pleased.

I've been looking everywhere and can't seem to find anyone doing the high level link pipe

Plenty of silencers listed though Unless you can point me in the right direction as they look so good with the rear wheel exposed.

I bought mine from Demon Tweaks , admittedly it was a long time ago.They definitely look better, sound nicer and easier to get wheel off. Busters or M&P may still have them aswell
