It seems like the four-piper has been with us a lot longer than that. Out here in Cycle City, Southern California, you just can't get very far before you catch sight of the big smoothie or your ears pick up on the distinctive, restrained exhaust note that makes identification of the source so instantly possible even when the machine is outside the visual spectrum. Disc brakes are becoming common now. Even some of the smaller around-town bikes are seen sporting them. Honda did it first, and the rest on the binder bandwagon haven't been able to match the performance yielded by these breakthrough units. The other feature conjured by the image of the Four is the smoothness. It's a cliche already. You start thinking about Honda's market startling introduction back in '69 (remember who won the World Series or who took the Oscar for best actor?) and you admit now as then it was quite a package. The first four cylinder engine (in many years) for public consumption, the first disc brake equipped stock bike, the electric starter, that never before sound and the smoothness. The Mach III and the Honda Four really are responsible for this whole super-bike phenomenon upon us. Different strokes for different folks, you might say, but they were the instigators. Much has been said about the Honda's braking capacity, and it is fully justified. The last time we tested the machine we stated that their front anchor was the best we had ever encountered. We have no reason to alter that statement at the present time. We weren't at all surprised that the second heaviest bike, the water-cooled, radiator-laden Suzuki was heaviest at 535 wet, tipping the scales at 518 pounds fully fuelled, was still the faster stopper during panic stop testing from 65 mph. In 35 to 0 stopping the brand new 750 Yamaha edged the Honda by about eight feet, coming to a halt within 37 feet. The back brake is a good performer. It will hop a bit during hard braking but is fully controllable. Just getting stopped within a certain number of feet is not the only concern in evaluating braking performance. Stopping can be a bit hairy if the rider has difficulty maintaining control of his rapidly decelerating machine. The Norton is guiltiest on this count. Concentration is the key word in halting that performer. The Honda certainly boosts the operator's sense of well being with very predictable, controllable stoppage. Our tests from 35 produced no fade at all. Stopping from 65 yielded a slight amount of fade after the first anchor tossing but repeated efforts did not increase this amount of fade. Binder performance as we zapped around the race course was comparable to that experienced during panic stop testing. We got smooth predictable fade free stopping at any speed.
