Apparently he's been in a cave on Mars with his head in the sand and his fingers in his ears for the past 20 years. | ||

"the wheelbase is 55.25 inches, two inches shorter than he could build with a Sportster motor. " Interesting, did he try an XB motor? "going to a magneto ignition, which would save 15 pounds and add some power, thanks to reduced drag on the crank." Is the weight savings the battery? I thought mags drew power for the spark energy? Someone believes this hype, I guess. | ||

Marcus says: December 21, 2013 at 9:03 am Wow, a nicely crafted supersporty big twin! This is what Eric Buell never gave us (Instead he lost track with engines from Rotax, a brand that produces engines for sleds, motorkites and probably also lawn-mowers). Impressive piece of work from that guy and impressively neat package! WTF...I swear, people are generally morons | ||

It's cool and all, but he's tootin' his own horn a bit. Spondon made a 54" wheelbase XL frame ages ago, and there's them Beeyooel bikes. The Twin Cam sounds good on paper, but they are slow revving and don't put up very good numbers on a chassis dyno without a fortune thrown at it. | ||

Anybody else notice the claim of 200 horsepower? Is that even possible? | ||

Just more lipstick on a pig, or in this case a hog... | ||

This is more my style:  It was raced and raced hard. More of My Harley Racebike | ||

"Is that even possible?" very S&S 124 with B2 heads and a little work and youre there. Seen it plenty, been around many | ||
| Bads1 |
No your not there really. Head work and cams and a good tune can get ya 150ish. My Brother has a 124 with alittle work. The above states with a Turbo and engine work. Thing is will it take the punishment of high RPM on a track time after time?? | ||

Saw these bikes at the Cycle World motorcycle show. They are nice... I don't know why they insist on Big Twins, but in this case, stacking up the transmission is a cool idea, sort of like how some Japanese makers do it... | ||

Actually, if someone can come up with a stacked big twin tranny that works as good as a stock one it's a game changer for sure. The length of the tranny determines overall wheelbase to a great extent. |
