Seriously though. I transistorised switch has got to be a better solution to achieve a superior Ldi/dt HT performance and reducing stored energy across the points Cdv/dt?
I’m betting that if CDI or and EI was available to Mr Honda back in the 70s he would have used it in preference to a mechanical system.
Just wondering….

Mr Honda did do just that. The CBX1000 Z had EI right from the start in '78. Three Reluctor Redundant spark system with three separate EI modules in potting compound mounted under the battery box. These systems work very well and incorporate further electronic advance in addition to the mechanical advancer. They are showing their age now and now there more modern aftermarket designs available from a Dutch specialist. Not cheap though!! The later "B" and "C" models used the same modules but not potted and mounted individually.

I am replying for Ash as he's now been sent to bed with no supper and banned from the internet for 3 weeks. Damn Cathy is a hard woman.

But more than anything, the engineers that did the original research and design of all these machines, I'm in awe of.
There's been some very clever people within these teams, trying to understand exactly what they did is intriguing.

Still think mags are the best. They have worked very well for 61 years on my primitive T110.
