Non sport bike motors
ok, I have been thinking about this for a couple days.
Has anyone thought of using a regular V motor from say a Harley? I know they can put out 130hp and about the same for torque.
The only thing I think that could be an issue would be the belt drive transmision.
I like the idea of the lightness of the bike motor but they seem to have low amounts of torque. (Ya i'm a V8 guy and like torque). I have never
seen a bike motor locost let alone rode in one.
Any info on this would be great thanks!
