Oh, and dont hold the fact that one of these is used in a theme bike by OCC against it... its still really cool

250 horse power
dual 45mm Mikuni carbs
225 lb. ft. of torque

thats alot of cubic inches there,

interesting bit on there is galarry it as a one of there motors with twin turbo, that be insane

Hell put one of them on the road in NZ and find out how quickly it doesn't take a corner. would take alot of self control not to wind it out

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

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!

It looks like it's beautifully made. Hmm,...the sound must be awesome.

See that twin turbo version on that link...woaahh mumma that must have a lot of tourqe. Very impressive bit of engineering.

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.

mellow out or you will pay,californa uber alles...

[Timber020]

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

[limbimtimwim]

Fuck, does that old bugger ever take his feet off the ground?

Learn to ride big guy..

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!
