I'm so pissed off I wrote down the wrong CC. I only even knew about it because of the "Deathwing" thread in the bike mod section on here.

Maybe the 1st incarnation of the GL1500 as it was meant to be before Honda decided it was too complexed for the public and chopped two pots off & released the GL1000; took them 14yrs to graft the two missing pots back into place.

But I was thinking more of the cylinders one above the other per side, not one behind the other.

The 1500 would make a fantastic car motor I reckon.

Anyhoo. I think I can picture that configuration, but fuck knows what the bike was.
