That's impressive. I wonder what kind of power that puts out.... I know it has the charger, but that bottom case if fekkin' huge! It probably robs a lot of power... I wonder what the application of it is for - that certainly couldn't fit into a motorcycle anymore.

not sure what its purpose is, other than for sh*ts and giggles.
but very impressive nonetheless

You could throw it into a boat or something pretty easy. Air cooled would make sense for that kind of application. It'd be lighter than a small block or something. If the motor made enough power - it'd be fast on a little shallow hull fiberglass boat.


I have to assume isn't not a single crankshaft engine... I wonder how much power all of that robs...

Yeah ^^^^

Saw that one a couple of years back and it blew my mind (it was a little pop! ).



Cheers, SB

OK, not motorbike stuff: but last weekend (Easter) I went and did gate entry duty at the final of the NZ Jetsprint Comp.

That is quite interesting, amazing horsepower and noise, and G forces that must make you pass out.

Indeed. I've seen some of those boats on TV before - I always thought that it was cool how fast they could change direction. I didn't realize the motors were that big, though! That's awesome.

That's why they get paid the big bucks.
