I've always looked at a V8 in a bike is a waste of a good small block............

Very small V8 whatever it is. Pretty though. Made it to look like an old Excelsior or Cleavland.

Magnificent design and machining skills. If they weren't expensive to machine we'd see more V8s in motorcycles. They've every performance advantage and vibrate little.
This Aussie engineer designed a nice one with a chassis to handle the ponies. https://pgmv8.com.au/media/

He has also made some cool V-Twins, I think 3, among many other mind bogling things.

Awesome build and crazy machining skills! "I didn't have any drawings and threw away the sketches I had made, but I think I have a few pics of the build here"... Wow.

So yes I read them, and you were still in the 'Wah Wah' mode, whether you meant it that way or not. 'Nuff said, I won't bother you with it further.
