So all that engine work, for ABOUT 10BHP MORE THAN A STANDARD xr1200??Originally Posted by Paul in NZ
Just as easy to buy (XR1200) off the shelf and lighten it a bit.

Yeah love it. Might have to build one one day...

Looks good,..but hope there's a chain guard to go on that.

ALL that engine work? They've given it a light massage mate. Should I build one...I'll go sick on it. Use an XB9 crank (shorter stroke...can rev them to 9 grand...big 1400cc kit pistons...easily get over 100 foot pounds of torque.

I must be reading it wrong, doesn't it have:
- A block from a Buell, bored out
- Sportster crank
- Sportster rods
- Ported heads (and presumably larger valves)
- A different carb
- Custom inlet manifold
- Aftermarket pipes
I'm not sure that swapping out the motor, then doing further work to it, the changing the entire induction and exhaust systems, equates to a light massage. I'm not really sure how it only equates to less than a 10% increase in power either.
When the most exciting thing they can say about it is how quickly it starts, it really paints a picture.The bike is currently in the jetting/tuning stage, but so far, it starts in about .02 seconds when you hit the button!!

I don't normally like cruisers, but this one looks quite nice. I'd have one.

That is not a cruiser.

Except me, if it doesn't have a front guard then it's shit

If the proportions were better it might be nicer.

It's a heavily modified cruiser. Still has a cruiser engine.

Well, it's actually a 1200 M2 Buell engine, which obviously is a lightly modified Sporty engine anyway. So hardly a huge mod there right? Putting a heavier crank in it from a Sporty to smooth it out is hardly much of a hot rodding mod either right? So what....an exhaust you say? Well a std exhaust wouldn't fit the frame now, and so they had to change it anyway right? Hardly earth shattering I wouldn't have thought? Bored the cyls right? To what...1st over size to freshen up a worn engine? Look out top fuelers!!! A diff manifold? Holy shit! So what we've got is a 1200cc Buell engine, with a mild port job, cams and??? Yep...a light massage in my books mate. When the thing is bored to 1400cc with a trick short throw crank, down draft juel injection with wild cams then we're getting a lil serious. We built a 1350cc Buell XB12 a while ago...does around 125hp and 115ftlbs worth of torque. Most Japanese bikes won't see which way it went on the street.
