I remember watching the VW Beetle engine change competitions. Even I could pull the motor on mine and put it back in 30 minutes. I think the record time was 64 seconds on the show.

Impressive. I don’t think I could remove engine mounting bolts that quickly.
I gotta admit, I would just LOVE to have a team like that help me swap engines/frames on my Honda CBR600RR.

I commend their ability to get that down to a science. Clearly everything was set up to have a quick easy swap. I'll guess very little was anchored more than what was required to move 20'.

I prefer to change an engine in a minute and a half to make sure it is done right.

Lol. Yeah, you need time to torque those bolts to spec, right?
