Kawasaki made a water-cooled, in-line, six-cylinder shafty. Mostly for touring, but it would make an excellent street fighter. Only $1,200: http://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/741420523.html. Put a fairing and tankbag on and you have a tourer too.

1957 Moto Guzzi V8 Grand Prix motorcycle, 500cc DOHC V8 with a separate carburetor for each cylinder, recorded at 172 mph in 1957.
Not a succesful racing bike though, several riders refused to ride it.
Great in straights, pretty bad in twisty bits.:idk:

I want to see that frame without the engine in it... I'm sure they had to do a lot of bracing to keep that bitch from folding like a pretzel... Either way, that thing doesn't look safe at all... I like it.
