These pages have much of the same information the video did. They explain why power output was NOT a driving design goal. They also have some interesting comments on the (original) tank design, and why it's the size and shape it is.

The ethos they expressed about making the bike are a bit of a departure for what I think of when I consider Honda. It's actually (dare I say it) closer to what Harley Davidson does. (I'll go shoot myself now).
