    Drop in a Yamaha XS650 twin OHC engine. Fast, bullet-proof reliability...

    What about one of these? http://www.cyclonepower.com/ I think they are really interesting, modern concept steam engine!

    If only they would design one especially for motorcycles!

    I have made a request for them to do that but no reply yet though! Never mind, early days!

    In a featherbead frame would be good.

    One of my favourites, I used to ride a 500cc twin Norton featherbead, bloody magic.

    I don't know that Rickman are making engines - but Wasp do,and they make a Metisse too,as well as a Wasp solo.

    So yeah - a Wasp would be perfect.

    TRX 850 is a great idea.
