beware the sticker shock.

I could lose one of my pistons in those valve reliefs, whats the displacement ?

215 cubic inches... 3500 (?) cc's.

You should put that kind of important info in the thread title.

[scunny]

OK... thumps forehead...... not only was it in the title but Ecosse also provided a link that I also missed, back to cooking tea then,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Well I think considering the R&D that went into it.... Plus a limited number of final product releases...

$40,000 seems a little bit "normal".

In the same way that kicking my sister out of bed because Queer Eye is on seems "normal".....

[Ecosse]

on the site there's a vague rendering of what the bike may look like.


in my humble, but irrefutable opinion, it looks like craaap. mcchopper all day long.

 

[tramp]

could you imagine the torque?

[cb650]

Is it me or is the plug wires going to the carbs?      Can you imagine the girls that would want a ride .

I think the ignition units are just mounted either on or right next to the carbs. 

[Laminar]

Technically they'd be throttle bodies, since it's fuel injected.

[HavocTurbo]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but 4 exhaust pipes? and looks like 3 plugs per cylinder?

Jesus need to move some air does it?

I stalled out at the price, before I could worry what wire went where..

 looks  like a better deal to me than the "nEW" Vincent motors..

 looks better that Triumph 3 CARtoon bike..

 these should make HP

 Of course where we live they will just come up with a new, even higher priced insurance class just for them.. we already have 400-750cc, 750-1000cc, 1000-1300cc, and 1300 and over.. I think that what they are.. plus some smaller ones..

Super vibramonster, peeling pavement upon clutch release.
Awesome

Four valves per cylinder - in a typical head those two valves would combine to a single port in the head, but in this case each valve has its own port in the head.

and looks like 3 plugs per cylinder?

With a 6" bore, the flame front of the combustion wouldn't travel quickly enough from one plug throughout the whole air/fuel mixture, and you'd end up with either incomplete combustion or detonation.

A Chevy 454ci big block only has a 4.2" bore. A Ford 460ci has a 4.3" bore. This has a 6" bore - absolutely huge.

Just wanted someone to confirm what I was seeing.

But thank you for the tech lesson. I'll be sure to be extremely dangerous with my limited knowledge.

makes complete sense.

my mind is whizzing trying to dream up other applications beyond bellybutton choppers.

wanna hear it run, now!

[Cvillechopper]

I'm drooling!  Think we could find a way to fit that into a 350F frame? I've got one that is just waiting to be worked on.

Seriously, that engine alone must weight close to the total weight of some bikes.  BEEEEE U TIFULLLL.

[Ecosse]

300 horsepower and 300 pound feet of torque, estimated.

come on folks... ideas for this engine?

speed boat, a real mini, a single slug version of this engine for that mac bike? talk about shakes!

[HavocTurbo]

I was thinkin flat tracker.....

 

[Ecosse]

yeah, a flat tracker from hell! and kenny thought a 2 stroke four was a monster!

 

[Cvillechopper]

I bet you could strap a paint can to that thing and not have to stir ever again.

Don't let any HD guys hear you say that. 

[754]

You is a Harley guy..


 I want that motor in a hotrod, with open hood..

 I would take that in a oldtime sprintcar, over a Shelby Cobra..any day..
