Just the lack of vibration in that mass of parts is impressive alone.
Many moons ago I was wandering around on the sales floor of a Honda motorcycle dealership looking at a new CB550-F(our). A salesman walked over and opened up a set of double doors to the parking lot. Then he came over and grabbed the bike and backed it up to the open doors. He asked me if I had a nickle in my pocket.
I gave him a nickle and he stood it up on end on top of the fuel tank cap. He hit the starter button and wrapped up the throttle several times and I bought the bike.
I'm pretty sure my wife (then girlfriend) fell asleep on the back of that bike more than once on long rides.
I have to admit though, when looking at some of the blown and injected miniature V-8 models on YouTube, it stirs something in my blood.
