I'm not sure if we should do that, Here is what the Chain Gang "an online community dedicated to owners and riders of the BMW F650" thought about yjackets idea. I guess he wanted to sell them on the idea of using a Barnett 8 clutch plate assembly in a BMW F650.

F650 BMW Forum

Funny how he joined there in about the same time he joined here and he only has 6 posts there. =/
One of there members asked him to list his mods and take pictures cause they were curious and yjacket hasn't been back. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

He also is a member of ApriliaForum.com hosted by AF1racing, he also only has 4 posts there [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

I wonder what the Busa guys would think about that. Supersonic toys would probably have a good answer for the 1200. =]

2big,

- If its a F in front of the cc's, its a rotax, 650 or 800 only.

- If its a K, its heavy four cylinder water cooled. Power monsters buy heavy and no, they won't fit as seamlessly as the F800 w/85hp stock with same size engine or slightly less weight.

- If its a R, its air cooled opposing twind cylinders. Not as heavy as K bikes, but heavy still due to drive shaft.


I know they don't put anything in front of new K1200's for advertising lately - ?

If you want the best power for the money, the big Suzuki would be hard to beat.
But if you doubled the twin rotax F800 85hp with performance enhancements, that would be enough to shake you up off road I'd think. 650 was designed specifically for carbs, but 800 is designed specifically for EFI: the engineering flow advantage, without significant work to overcome.

AZ, Scooby, and other advanced EFI/turbocharger Pioneers may double the F800 hp and tune it for response with hp to spare. They will have the racers advantage on the new round of Rotax technology.

Uh...........the 800 can't run in the single cylinder class...............or can it?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Um, why not. I'm not being a smart a§§ to you Erbed. Just stating the facts I have come up with plus I love setting up queries on one of my servers that has SQL Server Set up on it. That is also how I pegged Who raining cloud really was. =]

Sorry about hijacking the thread: just answering a statement. =]
