The grace and elegance of the Davies Honda 4 took our man Melling's breath away.

The rear hub on the Davies Honda 4 is tiny.

The Honda SOHC engine looks every inch a race motor.

The slim design adds to the allure of this classic racer.

Davies builds his own frames from Reynolds 631 tubing following the TAB design approved for classic racing.

In classic racing the engine has to remain the same externally as it was originally built, but the internals can be modernized.

The bike steers beautifully and the handling is rock steady and very confidence inspiring.

The Davies Honda 4 has an upgraded swingarm, a handcrafted aluminum fuel tank, and fiberglass frame, all barely within classic racing regulation.

"Everything on our bikes is for sale," proclaims builder John Davies. "If a bit is on our bike, you can buy it."

Don't lay this one down, or it'll cost you close to $33,000 dollars.
