Wow, I was pretty amazed at some of that stuff, a 5 cylinder four stroke 125? madness. over 34 ps /20,500 rpm with a top speed of over 210kmh!
Well worth a look

Was a 6 cylinder. Beleive the outer cylinder's/pistons and component's were built differently to save weight as they didnt need to be as strong.

Moto-Guzzi also had a V8, was 500cc. The big fairing's meant they had very good aerodynamics so were able to reach high speed's for relatively little power.
