I think this engine would fit in a chopper, but way too expensive for a bicycle. But boy, it would be really cool if someone could accomplish something like this. It would be like a Hayabusa bicycle. Conley Stinger 609 Engine weberprecision1
I Would Love To Have A Supercharged One But That Would Almost Be 6000 Dollars You Could Build A Real Motorcycle With A V8 For That.
yeh I was thinking that too, I just saw an 800CC BMW in the weekend paper for less than that. But ****, if I had the money I'd have one of those in an instant. a 100CC V8, I wonder what it sounds like...
If money were the deciding factor in everything, The GEO Metro would still be in production and we would all be driving them.
Wow! I coulda hadda V-8... but I got a china girl "slant 1" instead. (And by "slant", I refer to the angle of the cylinder. Thought I better clarify that one!) Brenton
Yeah, but even some people still prefers to ride a motorized bicycle than a motorcycle. Think of it this way: There are bicycles that would cost as much but are not even motorized, yet people buy them. It's like a high end luxury motorized bicycle. It would be like comparing a Ferrari with a Toyota.
As per popular request, here's a video of how it sounds like... YouTube - Mini V8 Here's one with a radiator: YouTube - Micro v8
Hey, I know this engine is very expensive, but besides the cost who's going to stop you. I know there are lots of technical guys out there... Maybe we can melt those chinagurls into these things... I hope the chinese will come up with a version of this engine. Maybe we can write to those Chinese manufacturers and specify to make one of these. They're already producing some very good R/C engines, so why not a mini V6 or mini V8 engine. I think if there's a market, they'll manufacture these babies.
how about a mini hemi with displacement on demand so when you idle it only runs four cylinders . (p/s you can buy the real hemi for 5,200) so the mini sould be less
Look carefully at this old pic. Now if you take a shortened Ford 9 inch rear end driveshaft it wouldn't be too hard to drop in a 429 cobra jet with a c6. That old pic actually does look like it may have something like a Model T driveline as a knife grinder oh yes.
You would have to find an incredibly heavy duty bike to mount that engine on... probably in the form of a motorcycle frame, not a regular bike.... =P
I think a custom stainless steel frame, but if it's really going to be sporty and could afford an engine like this, then a custom titanium frame could do. This would probably the most expensive luxury motorized bicycle you can use on the streets... I would still go for a used engine like this...
