Was it because there was a 1000cc bike available at the same time which was basically a bored and stroked version of the 750 so it was just a crank swap with an off the shelf part
Like 820cc ZXR750/ZX7Rs with ZX9R B cranks ?
Nope, in the 80s and 90s (and maybe still now) production based bikes were allowed to run oversize pistons up to 1mm bigger to allow for rebores, all the works bikes instantly "needed" reboring. Peter Day had an ex Belgarda WSB OW01 that was about 820cc

6 cylinders in 250cc, 5 cylinders in 125cc, probably 3 in 50cc and 80cc, 4 in everything else I think

Was the Guzzi V8 a GP bike? Can't remember what class it was in, but know it was a TT bike, just can't remember if the TT was part of the GP championship at the time.
