Suzuki 90 degree L twin 1000cc RT!

[pegasus1300]

So since this is all hypothetical anyway, I really like the Suzuki engine. Reliable as a stone ax, very powerful and can be tuned to push a lot of torque or a lot of horsepower. Just like the the Rotax motor. Other then the increased rom\om between the cylinders I don't see any advantage to going to the Suzuki. Rotax division can and would do anything Spyder Division asked them to do. Its all Bombardier.

I may be wrong but I think the V4 Aprillia motor is also a Rotax motor and would be a blast in the F3 or the RT. Another 200cc in the current VTwin would also be great. Does Rotax make a larger Vtwin from the same platform and could we get a displacement increace from a jug change?

The Aprilia V4 is all Aprilia, aas for the Rotax twin, there are kits available in Europe that'll give you bigger bores, and one that will give a longer stroke. The stroker will give you 1200cc, but as I've said before, we're talking cubic money.

Right. This was all hypothetical anyway. The L twin was just a, if I had $ to customize the RT, that would be my preference.

Yes well buying a new RT/F3 for the displacement change is mega money too but...........

The fuel tank sits underneath the rider; not on top of the engine, in the RTs...

You are correct sir! The motor does sit more forward, indeed.

Only advantage with the Suzuki motor as I see it, is lighter weight, cooler running, and longevity.:thumbup:
