Water cooled, 60 or 65-degree V. They are pushrod motors though.

 Hi all, sorry this is not Loop specific, but...

I got all excited yesterday thinking that I had spotted a Guzzi in real
life, would have been only the third one I have ever seen in person, but

turned out to be a Honda :(

So that had me wondering, is there any connection between the Honda and
Guzzi? Just Honda copying a good thing or is there a fascinating,
intriguing story here? Don't know what model of Honda that is. Does it
handle like a Guzzi?

Sorry if this has been discussed before and thanks for the indulgence.
