Re: Honda Gold Wing/Valkyrie V8

I'd like to see Honda come out with an all-new Gold Wing/Valkyrie, this time upping the ante to a 90-degree V8, DOHC, 32 valves, variable valve timing and lift, direct injection. Use the technology to get power and torque comparable to the GL1800 in a lighter, smaller-displacement package.

The idea is a state-of-the art motorcycle, not a bomb with a short fuse. Honda has used VTEC for years on its car engines; direct injection will be arriving soon.

Nothing wrong with more power and torque, but I'd like to see a smaller-displacement motor for a lighter bike.
