And a reliable 120hp / liter 9k rpm 4 banger is a Sunday walk in the park for Honda. They have made reliable street bikes running +150hp / liter since at least the 1980s redlining above 12k rpm. But in the world of V8s the street engines spinning over 8k rpm is very limited.

Honda is to me the biggest disappointment in the auto world today. So much experience, so much know-how and so much successful history just wasted year after year on building über boring pedestrian grey non enthusiast cars. Shame on you Honda.
