Shoichiro Irimajiri (above), a brilliant engineer who worked on Honda's GP racing bikes of the 1960s, was also the man responsible for the mighty CBX1000

I think the Horex VR6 is a natural evolution of the inline design in a more compact package. I have no yearn for a bike with more cylinders than necessary, but love seeing the CBX in its shiny glory every time the topic comes up.
