You haven't heard a tiny Japanese six!  I got to hear this one in person at Laguna Seca.  That's right up there with the first cammer I ever heard in anger!

That Honda six is interesting.

15 cubic inches and 60 hp at 18,000 rpm !
Bore is just an inch and half and four valves fit in there, must be assembled by watchmakers.
