Very well dated regarding performance standards but years ago I purchased new a 6 cyl. Honda CBX and then added a turbo. But I find this fellows built V12 Honda CBX beautiful. Numbers to start with - air-cooled 2 liter V-12, 48 valve.

What is the displacement on the Rc166? Those valves look like finishing nails. I wonder what it could rev to?

What do you mean by this? Was it used in some sort of Lotus 7 replica?
