That sort of machine used to be popular for hill climbs....small, nimble & good power/weight ratio.

pistons. It had 4 of them..... :lol:

8 valves per piston :shock:

2 rods per piston :shock: :shock:

something like 400+ patents on the engine design *alone*. :shock: :shock: :shock:

Developed at a cost of well over $100mill......and shelved after less than a year.

Proof beyond any reasonable doubt, that Honda are obsessed with technology for technology's sake alone.
