next Jap engine???
 

think this could be the next thing to hit the streets...no doubt someone will still turbo it!

But will the bike that carries this engine steer faster than a Duke? That's what I want to know!
:roll:

Is this for real?

to a non techy head ,like me, for sure it is! other may disagree.....

I bet there is a disc valve and expansion boxes in ther somewhere...

I still thinkt they'll say it will struggle to break the 200mph barrier due to aerodynamics.

Does anyone remember the CBX1000? looks remarkably similar.... this time round I cant see how making the indicators the size of dinner plates, or painting it silver will make the thing look smaller though.:D:D:D

was thinking about this one for my next project

Are you going to put it in the Suzy next to it?

:D

That would turn it from a GP1?? into a RE9

Now what could I put these in

Anorak time here but i think they are Rolls Royce Griffon engines. They produce about 2500hp at 2750rpm and we used in later marks of spitfire (XIV etc). The right hand one i think is a marine version as used in air sea rescue launchs or it might be from a tank.
