    Maybe to the first corner anyway... can't see it cornering well... and I
    reckon the knees are pretty close to the exhaust from the top bank.

    However, it is some feat of engineering...

    If it doesn't go, is it engineering? Or... art?

    It goes, the motor runs, that's engineering.

    If it doesn't handle, that's a different thing.

    I doubt it'd corner well, but I wouldn't mind seeing the results from
    a dyno run! ;-)

    Pretty obvious why he based it on 2-stroke cylinders too, wouldn't it
    be a bastard to do the valve clearances on? ;-)

    You're missing something here!
    A H2 750 has 250cc cylinders. An S1/KH250 has 83.3cc cylinders.
    48x83.3cc = 4 litres.. (hmmm...... mebbe they're all on second oversize!)
