Dream Quads?
#11
My dream quad is deffinately a unique one. 250R style frame geometry but with +2 and +1 forward Aliminum (Titanium if you can afford them) frame and A-arms. Stock swing arm but with the linkage off a '91 CR500. Dual row tapered bearing carrier with a Lonestar +4 rear axle. Billet hubs and spindles. Carbon fiber wheels. Maxis Razors. Axis shocks. CR Hi handlebars with renthal girps. Plastics and graphics don't matter. Steel braded cables and hoses.
Now that we're done with the Rolling chasis on to the power plant. I want to see straight 3 EFI Wenkal Engine. A 3 stroke! Liquid cooled of course with an electric fan on the radiator as well as an external oil tank with an oil cooler. With these baby's you use a rotary piston thats more like a triangle spinning around and for ever RPM you get 3 power strokes. These are the most power efficient engines ever made, except the fact that they aren't very enviromentaly frienly is the only reason they aren't in wide use today. Now it'd have to have 11:1 compression so you can still run pump gas. A 3 rotor engine produces just as much power as a 6 cylinder engine. Power would be somewhere around 200hp. Thats a quad!

Factory GNC rider. Riding for the Honda/Roll Design/Sparks team. Making around 75-85 grand a year. Rides: 2002 Lobo II frame made specially for a 450r with Curtis Sparks motor work. A 2002 Lobo II frame 250r with Curtis Sparks powervalve kit. Matching practice bikes to go with the race bikes.
But.... Since that will <u>probably</u> <u>never</u> happen my reality quad would be: A Cannondale Moto440 and to go out and race and just have fun.

Realistically: it would have to be a 250r with a LRD 350cc pv top end w/ adjustable pipe, entire engine polished (to a chrome like shine), +2, +1 adj. a-arms, arens frame, axis shocks, carbon fiber rims, hydraulic clutch, steel braided lines, nerf bars, carbon fiber skid plates.
Idealistically: the above with EFI, a reverse, and a lightweight electric start.
