    The V8 configuration is just a really good engine configuration. It’s much better balanced than a V6 and smoother than an inline 6.

    though it generally uses way more fuel than smaller engines

    You can make them any size you please. I had a bike with a 500cc V4: standard, straight from factory. Anybody could make a 2.2l V8 instead of a designinf it as a 4 cylinder boxer. Boxers are cheaper, though, and the people buying them tend to not know much about cars, so there’s no incentive. The only people still buying V8’s are people that want lots of power at low rpms and you’ll never convince them to buy anything else.
