Imagine a Spyder with this engine

[Rogue Hawk]

Impressive, but I assume not much of the HP finds its way to the pavement. In a Spyder, more would be used.

:clap:

But I prefer a bit less... urgency, built into my bikes:




After all: who doesn't love the Ford Flatheads?

"Impressive, but I assume not much of the HP finds its way to the pavement. In a Spyder, more would be used." What would lead you to that impression, the narrow tire?

I would like a VMax motor in mine. That would be enough for me.

Yes, the tires will break long before the hp reaches it's limit. A Spyder could use more, particularly if it was three wheel drive.

:agree: I have said that since day one of the 2nd. generation Vmax motor and then seeing my first spyder. Now that I have a RS, I really feel the need for that to happen.

I think that I would rather have something reliable like a 1800 Goldwing engine. It has plenty of power as well.

How about just forgetting about these underpowered V-8s?
Go for Turbine Power! :bowdown::bowdown:
