A little over the Top.

       A Little??  way cool though. I still prefer the refined gentleman's edition

Always wanted a CBX.  When they were new I couldn't afford one; now I can but they are a lot heavier than they were back then... ;)

If I had to have a car engine in a motorcycle, this would be the route I’d go.

I owned a K1600b for a couple of years.  The engine was fantastic. 133 ftlbs. torque at 5000 rpm and smooth as silk.  Too bad the rest of the bike wasn't as good as the engine.

MOTUS:

Absolutely yes.  I spoke to one of the founders, Lee Conn, at Daytona Bike Week when they had 2 bikes there.  1650 cc's.  Described as one half of a V8.
Engineering input from Pratt & Miller.  Lee started one up and it was glorious.  I spent about and hour talking to him about his creation.  He couldn't of been
nicer.  Damn shame his funding went away and they shut down in 2018.  If I was a collector and had silly money, this would have been one of the few toys
I would have acquired.  First rate components and looked very well put together.  This could have been a unique American built motorcycle brand if they survived.

I always wanted a Morbidelli.

What could have been... Moto Guzzi's v-four prototype.

    In July of 2017 I test rode this at Euro Cycles in Odessa Florida.   The motor is intoxicating, imagine a push rod V8 with a dry clutch, at a idle it rocks back in forth like a Moto Guzzi.   I went on the test ride and as soon I hit the Roundabout, "Down goes Dave".   fresh hydraulic fluid and the front end washed out.   Didnt get hurt but it cost my insurance over 10 Grande to fix it.  Its the one bike I will always think about, maybe I'll get one as a retirement present.

I find when riding like this, little matters............ .....

I've had my GT for about 10 years and love it. That Ricardo designed 6 cylinder is like sitting on an F1 engine!

You could get by with six cylinders https://youtu.be/weLSBLzoLlw?si=P3CFKoitSuDCPT2U
