sneak peak of acme V twin

[Salty Gator]

When they do start selling it I am going to have to buy another bike!

I'd love to have one myself but I honestly don't think it's ever going to occur....way too many intangibles in effect.....but I'm praying to the Bike Gods.......

OMG when i saw that last pic of the yellow bike with the v-twin engine, it seriously gave me a hard

 

[SeattleRider]

My bike (the green Harley in the above post) is waiting for this engine...depending on two factors.

1 - Cost
2 - when will it be ready?

Any news ons on the "v" twin motor yet?
Got frame and other parts waiting......

 

[Kevron99]

Yeah!! Cant wait for the V twin to come out. When will be on the market?

I'm desperately hoping for this engine to make it to a production run, but you just get that nagging feeling, it won't happen.

Nothing would make me happier for the guys who have designed this engine to prove me wrong.

still swampt and trying to get caught up. the motor will make it to production. i only have one bike left and its in the paint and assimbule stage. so not much longer till i can devote full time to the v twin.

Not to be a kill joy...tell me you guys aren't having these sand cast?

What's wrong with sand cast? Pressure casting may be stronger yes, but these engines are not putting out 12 HP either.

I was mostly thinking about all of the clean-up machining that will be required.

Over the years I have machined batches of raw castings...sand castings are hard on tools!

[GearNut]

Understood and wholeheartedly agreed with!

 

[doubledice]

So i know a big question here is how much this motor is going to cost so any idea yet???

If you have to ask how much, you can't afford it.

I have a related question, mostly for anybody out there who would know or for anybody who dabbles in RC: I have already seen numerous 50cc twin cylinder RC aircraft engines with opposed cylinders BUT has anybody seen a 50cc V-twin??? If so - WHERE??? (Inquiring minds want to know.)
I know - they're largly diesel, but maybe conversion would be possible with a custom head or some such, and I suppose one would need to find a way to add a flywheel and clutch.
