Only in america would taking an engine that's already a boat anchor, and then doubling the size of it, be considered a step forward :rofl:

Jeesus H, what's stopping me putting one of these in my cage? Other then the fact it probably costs $20k+. Totally sick though, haven't been a fan of V-twins since a TL1000R blew my left eardrum out at Ruapuna ;@ - but this thing must sound totally mint!

That's 53kW per litre.

While you can't compare apples and oranges, I wonder what would top a listing of specific output/price?

The price would still need to be for a long block per litre.

160 cubes is close to 2400cc isnt it? I wonder if the rear cylinders get much hotter than the front?

So an american motor company finally figured out how to make a V-4...

Timber020, they more than likely do since I doubt they've bothered with making the smart move of liquid cooling it.

No they haven't. What they have done is put two V twins on a common crank, yes I know technically a V4 but not they same as a true V4 with two cylinder headds not four. Imagine how wide there IL4 would be!

With a 240 front, the thing hardly needs a sidestand! It must be an arse of a thing to corner.
