This is the NR750 from Honda. Leave it to Honda to do something like this. I really like the way they try to do something outside the BOX.

The reason for it made great sense at the time -- far better heat dissipation, far better fuel-air & exhaust venting -- while retaining the V-twin power-pulse that keeps the tires from losing traction as often (four cylinders cause more bangs, thus more times per RPM for the tires to lose a bit of traction from the bang). Due to uneven expansion rates, these engines were known to fail very quickly and seize. The next time around, they simply stuck to individual cylinders, but timed the crank so that the cylinders fired concurrently or just slightly off each other, mimicking the same firing effect as the oval-piston ones.
Yamaha did the same basic thing for Rossi's M1 this year by making the cylinders act as if they were effectively a close-firing V-twin instead of a straight-four. And, as we all saw, Rossi came and kicked Honda's butt this year on his (far less powerful) Yamaha, because that firing order kept the limits of adhesion far more usable (and he's a superior rider).

I think that is the idea they have, Cyber. The last talk I heard was VTEC and Direct injection system.
Another state of the art vehicle from Honda.

Honda gets to capitizalize on the V5 engine they build for the race world by retasking it for a new high-displacement VFR which is slated to fill both the blackbird and VFR slots (no clue whether the existing VFR will remain, the current blackbird won't), while getting it into the hands of people who will provide the best field testers for the platform available -- long range sport-touring riders who tend to do their maintenance on time but value speed. It should also appeal on a marketing-basis to those who loved the ST1100 but didn't like the bloated ST1300.
From the release of the V5 VFR, it wouldn't be hard to refine the engine for race-rep use in some future (2007 model year?) race bikes.
Does that clear it up? Personally, I've been waiting with baited breath for the Blackbird update and was planning on getting one this past year if they had updated the platform as Honda's originally-announced intentions had been (before the V5 project became the new engine of choice). With the VTech connundrum, I'll have to take a very close look at the service procedure before I'd go down that road for the new one, because the procedure is complicated (and time-intensive) enough that I passed on the current VFR altogether... Special tools, double adjustment (first set the single valves, then insert the special tools and do the other valves, etc).
