    This is a sidetrack, but within the last few years there was a story in The Antique Outboarder about the 8-cyl. König.

    The 65hp 3-cyl Koenig (available in 850 and 900cc versions) was a very strong contender in UIM Class SE (850cc), at the end of the `60s. It was sold as a "stock" motor and had a slightly higher cowling along the lines of that of the 40hp 700cc motor. That in turn formed the basis for the 2-cyl DU motor.

    It is a 350 on top of a 500.

    There were also versions with reeds instead of rotary valve

    If I remember correctly, Konig did make a true 850 boxer back in the mid 70's. Jerry Peterson had one, and I think Elmer Grade also had one. Jerry blew his up at the UIM OE race in Dayton in the late 70's when he broke a prop shaft testing and over-reved it and twisted the crank and separated the cases. The motor was a "square type" block.

    Correct again. It is a 6

    As far as I know there was no 4 cylinder 850 ... 4 cylinder 750 (47.6 ci) boxer, yes


    There was also an 850 inline 3 developed with Volvo I think mentioned earlier in this thread and an inline 3 850 pleasure motor that was successfully race in stock classes
