And now, for something completely different!

There are a lot of odd things that you see in the automotive world, but for me, this one has to take the cake!  Starting in 1979 Honda started putting oval piston engines in their bikes.  Making 150hp with these weird pistons, it wasn't exactly exactly slow on power, but it wasn't very competitive. It won only once well in competition, which would explain its short life span.
 
Take a look at the comparison of the oval block to the regular piston block!
The rotating assembly of the motor.  So crazy
Got dome??
The bike that the motor was used in
