So I’ve been super curious about Hondas choice of design on the St1300. I adore the V4 and the power delivery (other than that hiccup at low speed, which I would love to solve) but I’ve always wondered why they chose to do a 360 degree separation crank angle. They essentially strapped two 90 degree V-twins together, which is why it needs the balance shafts. The VFR doesn’t have the same balance shafts or crank angle. Anybody know why Honda chose this crank layout? I don’t dislike it, just curious.
