I looked into buying one, Newmans didn't have one in stock. You have to order them in. The price was about $650 if I remember correctly. That was complete. Motor, Electrics, Radiator etc, etc I decided to go a different way. Technically speaking they may or may not comply with the regulations. ie are they a road use motor. I couldn't be bothered in the end. Maybe later if they (and parts) become more easily available.

They are a push rod engine so you are probably better off with the air cooled OHC engine.

I looked a while ago and could not find any spec. Weight, How Many gears, Stroke Bore. Anyone know this stuff?

or 4 on the floor.
Yeah I figured that might strike a chord with us older members, wasn't sure if I'd spelt it correctly. [quick google] Oh yeah, close enough;) (we had a manual 4 speed kingy/monaro hybrid).

I sat round having a few beers with someone a long time ago and he had a pretty plausible idea for a single valve 4-stroke. Even sober the next morning it still seemed like it would work. Even more so with modern engine management.

super charger 2 stroke ports, oh hold on, that becomes a crankcaseless 2 stroke with nowhere to put the spark plug. . .
