ROTAX HP ??

[Eddie]

Motorcycle engines
The 1125 cc Helicon engine developed for Buell is a lightweight, fast-revving, big-bore, short-stroke V-twin with a broad power curve peaking at 146 hp (109 kW) near the 10,500 rpm redline.
The twin-cylinder, 139 hp (104 kW) V990, is light and compact, sporting magnesium cylinder head and clutch covers.
The Type 122 & 123 engines were single cylinder 125 cc engines as used in Aprilia AF1 / RS125 models. These were high revving, high power units using an exhaust valve system called Rave to increase peak power while retaining low end torque.

• Engine Type 1125R - Buell Motorcycle Company
• Engine Type V990 - Can-Am Spyder, reverse trike
• Engine Type 804

Yup--- still waiting for them to get the final product for release---- a few out here have ordered them.

$5,000

It doesnt cost $5,000. It costs $4,995!

I was there Monday as they were boxing the first kits to go out and I have pics!

You are seeing pics of the final boxed units here first. The pipes and mufflers should be done with thermal coating tomorrow, then kits should start shipping when they complete the packaging.

Not sure where you got the info--- but the v990 in the Spyder isn't 139HP. Different pistons, lower compression, lower HP.

Call Ken at www.evoluzione.net - (951) 639-0951.

He knows these engines up and down, in and out. He builds Aprilla racing bikes and has worked on the V990 engines for years. He rebuilt his Spyder V990 and has it 140+ HP. I've talked to him many times--- nice guy--- really knows his stuff. He could tell you the real scoop in a matter of minutes.

If ya want more HP out of the Spyder.... there's 2 ways to get there---- high compression pistions/cams or adding a Turbo kit.
