Wanted to ask you, are the companies that that made the Russian Engines still around but just no longer make MB motors. Or are they completely gone? If the market is growing so fast, might be worth an email or 2. | If I understand correctly....
For all I know, the factory now exhausts motor-pumps. 
For them engine D-10S.Тhis continuation D-8 is issued, only on it there is no clutch. And water cooling. So still which that makes factory, but not bicycle engines.
Here a site of this factory: St.-Petersburg Open Joint-Stock Company "KRASNY OCTIABR". R&D, production, servicing and repair ofmain, intermediary and tail gearboxes, wobble plates and transmissions for MIL and KAMOV helicopters, aircraft accessory gearboxes KSA and gas-turbine e

Wohooo Dagger! The only parts missing are the mounts and some hardware. you could almost fabricate most of it. I looked today at costs for shipping between Moscow and New York. $351 USD for 150 pounds. I had wanted to trade you a Chinese engine kit for a Russian bicycle. Then I would buy a Russian engine kit here from Grubee. I would be the only kid on my continent with a real Russian Motor bike! Aside from the shipping cost, there are also other fees. Be great if you could get them to manufacture bicycle engine kits again. Have you seen the excitement of folks looking at your pictures? Just a thought.

That little water cooled jewel would be a kick....can't you just see a small aluminum radiator mounted on the downtube? Oh, too cool for school...

If there was a way to bring that shipping down a bit, I'd buy one in a heartbeat!
Those things are awesome!!!

I purchased this kit a few years ago from Don Grubee and i will probably never get around to useing it. I am a whizzer guy but have a few different motors that i picked up along the way. I paid $325 plus shipping when purchased and will probably leave it go for that. Let me know.

Just a thought. | I have learnt presumably, transfer from Russia in the USA will cost how many. Not including bicycle costs. The price is more than bicycle cost... 
It seems to me, is easier to establish the Russian engine on the American bicycle. Will be cheaply and quickly. 
But it is necessary to know what weight of a bicycle. From 15 kg and it is more....
1$ = 33,38 roub
Here our tariffs: Postal services
