They couldn't build a V8 in the racebike this engine was developed from, because FIM rules (at the time) said that GP bikes cannot have more than 4 cylinders. Honda sidestepped that little problem by creating a V8 with "siamesed" cylinders, which was technically a V4. I was a technical writer for the industry at the time, and was "close" to this project when it was being developed...so have all the fun you'd like with my description....It's been printed hundreds of times.
