well, in any case, there's no magic involved, and like every engine decision ever, compromises must be made.
i actually like the thought of a 2 liter V8... or maybe L8... 250cc cylinders have been done FOREVER, i would probably gladly take the small efficiency hit to have a smoother, better sounding engine.... but i'm also an enthusiast of that sort. most of the general population is not.
