Honda RC211V

2001 Honda V-5 Motorcycle Racing Engine
Idling away, watching YouTube videos, I came across one that mentioned Honda's V-5 racing engine from 2001. Being as I had just concluded the engines with an odd number of cylinders would spin more smoothly, I was intrigued. This engine came about in response to a rule change. Honda had some success with this engine in the 2002 season, but the rules changed again, so it was only campaigned for a couple of years. I guess spinning smoothly isn't that important.
