Carburetors?!?
I could barely keep 2 synced in the old days (my old MG).

That's one thing I hated about my 1984 R100RT.

Quite a while ago I saw a video of this thing firing up at a bike meet somewhere. Can't remember what it sounded like but I would guess a mass of 2 strokes. How do you tell if you have fouled out cylinders? I still have to say: Just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD!
