Honda V-twin 650 Quasar (2019)

Still under construction: a 'new' Quasar in John Bruce's workshop in September 2019; it will be the first one powered by Honda's V-twin Deauville/NTV650 shaft drive engine, although the VT500 Phasar that Malcolm Newell created for Julian Bond was powered by an 'ancestor' of this V-twin unit.

Note the classic Bob Tait hub centre steering. An interesting combination, and despite the humble 55bhp power output, it will still have far more than an original Reliant 850 Quasar and should be lighter too. PNB
