They were designed to fit in a specific space in a Honda (my mind says Civic) boot.

Counter rotating crank shafts and a twenty eight large price tag!

I admire whet they're done but IMO the styling is wrong for that engine character.

Why a bloody 250? Couldn't they have made it a 350 for only a slightly bigger price tag? The cycle parts would handle the extra capacity. It's not like anyone's going to race it.
