No thanks. I admittedly have little to back it up but I personally think oval pistons is a terrible idea for a production motorcycle. I imagine they are much more costly and difficult to make with way more machining complexity and time just for the cylinders and pistons alone. Add in double the valves, double the rods, a more complex crankshaft, more complex camshafts, plus other difficulties and Honda wanting over $40k for the NR750 makes some sense. If they want a V8, they should just build a V8.
