Look at the specs on this thing....WOW! Not my cup of tea, but what a feat of engineering.



It's stunning that's for sure, too over the top for ordinary riding on roads with speed limits.
Probably costs an arm and a leg too.
Honda wanted to do a 500cc V-8 around 1990 for GP racing. Ended up with the oval piston version V4 instead.

This is four times the displacement of that.
Yes, but somehow a super small V8 seems more impressive from an engineering view.
