I just feel a freezing feeling down my back hearing this incredible motorcycle, Honda was miles ahead of everybody back then.

Well, they weren't miles ahead and weren't really doing anything revolutionary except for perhaps their fierce dedication to success and the sheer amount of money they lavished on the racing program. It was hard work and lots of it that led to success and good for them. Listen to a decent recording of the Moto Guzzi V8 at speed for some mighty fine noise as well.

An unmistakeable difference is sound between the 4 and 6.

And i thought a VFR800 was the best sound in the history of motorcycling...

Boy i was wrong.

Hi Squarielman, just to let you know that this is not actually John Cooper riding the machine, but Maurice Evans, his mechanic. Maurice built the machine and completed it in 2007 - and is indeed a seasoned rider himself. The machine can be viewed "in the flesh" on 14th Feb at The Classic Dirtbike and Road Racing Show, The International Centre, Telford. Mr Evans will be there. :-)

Redman sounded much better on the Honda six.
