Yeah but, why was a 650 just fine back in the day? Was it because we old farts didn't weight as much?

We weren't getting near the 790/865 s longevity and or mileage out of those great old motors either. Ever had your Zener Diode crap out in the middle of the night and a hundred miles from anywhere? All your oil leak out of your in-frame oil-tank because of an inferior factory weld? The good old days, weren't always all that good, but I still wouldn't trade them for love, power or money.
