Hi Zq, this qn has been asked numerous times already. Just to answer some, it comes with stock Brembo brake calipers for the front and the 50th anniversary plates range from FQ to FR. It's stock colour is white with red racing stripes in the middle and the side covers have a red logo identifying it as 50th anni.

 

Mine is, but i repsrayed it to black. Anyway, visit the Non-Vtec thread here:

Yeahhh.. Honda was founded in 1959 bro. Not the bike, but the maker.

 

Adjustable front forks, I heard about it. Something about turning the screw to increase the spring constant inside the fork I think. But never bothered to try it anyway. If you're planning to get a Ver S, do not just judge the bike by its outlook.

 

Focus more on the engine. It's 10 years old and if it has a past history of abuse..

Honda was established in 1948. Hence in 1998, they celebrated their 50th anniversary, and thus the 'limited edition' S4.

Haha.. Oh yeah, my bad. Failed maths. Haha.. If 1959, means the 50th anni Ver S should come out in 2009.

You think so?..LOL!..otherwise you won't be asking your question here. No need to go to shop...just get anyone around in your neighbourhood that has a S4 long enough to take a look at yours...or for the matter..any neighbouring bro here from SBF that live near your place.

It's a nice collector's bike for those eager. (Only 500 in the world)

Too bad my rim's are repainted black due to bike shop unable to match its original bronze-gold colour.
