Hurley's not really impressed with the motor. He actually "tried" to put his input in with the Kawi engineers when he was asked about a new 750 motor. He thought it would be better to stay with air cooling race motor, just widening the cylinder spacing for bigger transfers and better shape. But the engineers wanted water cooling, and so the only real advantage of the triple (light weight) went out the window with another 20lbs added to the motor in metal and 20 or so with all the other water auxilleries........
