If you want to see a slice of the motegi museum while in europe, Honda has opened a mini museum at HMR Rome, Italy, europe's largest Honda Dealer. Exhibits are form the honda Collection hall and will be rotating every once in a while.

Bookmarked for my next visit there

I wonder if those oval bores are from the NR/CR500 racers?
See SOHC4shop.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

The demons are repulsed when a man does good. Use that.
Blood is thicker than water, but motor oil is thicker yet...so, don't mess with my SOHC4, or I might have to hurt you.

Nice tech with oval pistons! :)

Ferrari has patented the oval piston for a new 12 cyl motor. Interesting short video here...
