This is the engine that belongs in a Lone Star framed duner. 14,000 rpm?? You gotta be kidding me! That is seriously the sweetest looking engine I have ever seen.



Aprilla V-twin

 

Ridley,

You're an MX guy, do you think that a V-twin like that could make a dent in MX racing?

 

That is an awesome engine. I bet that thing sounds so awesome. I love Ducati and Aprilla street bikes. That motor in a 400ex frame with the right gearing would be insane.

 

That is a pretty engine. Those Italians sure know how to build a good engine. Think Lamborghini, Ferrari, etc...

I got so busy focusing on one thing I left out the whole Cannondale thing. You're right Buddah, they broke the ice in many ways. And maybe I generalized the 4 stroke statement, that they aren't leaving much on the table, just thinking in terms of what we would see in a quad. The technology exists for ultralight, twin cylinder torquey rev-to-the-moon units, wouldn't that be cool, a 440 twin that turns 14000 but starts pulling good at the low end?


WHo called it?!?! Oh yeah, Shady saw the future!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Who's da man? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Okay, go ahead and flame me now I just had to do that.

 

All hail Shady, the omnipotent one!! Since you are looking into the future, can you tell me if an Aprilla engined quad will be in my Garage by 2006? If not, just be a sport and lie to me.

 

sweet lookin motor..........

 

My son, become one with the universe, be seated cross legged, form circles with your thumb and index finger, look to the heavens, and repeat after me....."hoouummmmmm......hoouummmmmm."

You now can see the future as I, the impotent one. I mean omnipotent. Really. It is 2006. The huge hill before you is Choke Cherry. You look up. You throttle and dump clutch. You are flying upward at ever increasing G-force! Yes, it is you, on your 450 twin Aprilia Quad! You shift into fourth and are entering another dimension, time is moving sideways, the sky is turning colors as light bends around you!

But what is this?? A yellow flash passes you by?! No, IT CAN'T BE!!! It's Shady on his 1987 LT 250 going past you!! CAN NOTHING BEAT HIM!!!!

 

I like that story Uncle Shady! Tell me another one please! But could you make the ending a little more believable? I know it's a story and all but, jeez.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Uncle Shady,

Can I get up now? My legs fell asleep.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
