It's an interesting technical exercise. And if it can handle 11k briefly, dial that back a bit and you might have a usuable 10k motor I guess that has a bit of life.

The other thing that's nice is he's genuinely chuffed with it all. I know that feeling when you build something yourself and it all works just how you planned it to.

I agree with the other comments - there's something about engines revving under load that is like music, to me. My personal favourite is the Mazda 787b, but those bikes sound good too.

Yep, superb. Can't beat the sound of a V8, at any rev's! I also like the engine builder, nice demeanour.
