hi guys made my mind up on what kit to go for the aries.now i dont know what motor i wanted to do a turbo bike engine but after giving it some thought ive saked that idea,so was thinking of a hayabusa but there flipping expensive just for the std unit.whats my other options pls.mind you ive never driven a bec.
thanks jamie

Depends on your budget I suppose

Cbr1000rr seem to be the engine of choice these days plenty of quick cars in the Rgb using them

congratulations on plumping for an aries most of us that have built one recently have gone for the older 893 or 919 fireblade engine to get used to first as with this you don't need a catalytic converter for iva once you have got used to it you can later upgrade your engine and still get back what you paid for old engine..

The hayabusas and zzr1400 will be most 'car like' in how they drive and probably better for general cruising. But in reality they will be no quicker than the modern 1000cc motors!
Gsxr 1000 seem the choice for us guys on the hills due to the grunt but the racers tend to go cbr 1000rr
If you did the install and realise after a year or so that you'd prefer the turbo y can always do it at a later stage over a wimter

Thanks guys,also what mods do I need to do to the engine to make it fit or run.ie sump clutch???

Think the cbr 1000 just needs a billet sump,slipper clutch as standard. You'll probably get various responses with the busa but I'd be dry sumping it for sure! And with an sbd kit!

have you been in touch with steve then ?? he is a real friendly man I once had a problem with fitting the engine cradle and he popped in his van and came straight over just to find out I had a bracket on wrong he then spent a few hours with me looking around car with me telling me how to improve it all in it was an 80 mile round trip that is how he is any problems and he will sort it out..

BUSA needs dry sump kit to be reliable. It's heavier than the 1lt motors to start with and that adds a fair bit more.
ZZR1400 just needs asump baffle or billet sump AFAIK. I'd go for the siplicity of that over a BUSA if you go for the larger capacity motor.

CBR1000rr is engine of choice in RGB currently. Think it needs a billet sump and as the secondary injectors are in the air-box that can't be altered/removed easily so it's very tall (look at the big bonnet bulges in RGB). ZX10r is the other popular RGB engine (similar issues I think). Not sure about slipper clutch for road use. I wouldn't like to be using the brakes all the way down a mountain, though I see thier advantages on track.
R1's need a sump baffle plate and breather mod'. You also need to by-pass te EXUP motor to fool the ECU or keep the Exup motor attached but hidden away. That'd be my choice but I'm biased

Worth a trip the Stoneleigh show (3-4th May) and chat to some owners.

EXUP is a variable gate in the exhaust that is used to constantly vary the exhausr diameter to suit the revs.In a kit youuse a different exhaust so it's no use and so you remove it. Trouble is that causes a fault code on the dash and has also been blamed for some engine failures (presumably the ECU fuels differently when it thinks the EXUP has failed). You can either keep the motor that drives it connected to the loom or use a little electronic box of tricks and all is well. Keeping the motor is a bit heavier and you might hear it whirr every time you start up.

Search Exup widget on here to find instructions on how to make one. Also search for the breathermod'(again easy enough to do))

Is exup on all bike engines

I was referring to the more modern 1000cc motors like the blade rather than the older R1 but I'd imagine even at road speeds I'd agree the larger motors are more suited, but at full chat on a circuit at high rpm's the 1000cc would be my choice!
The top bike powered westfields in the wscc sprint series are all running 1000cc motors and are all around the 400kg mark which is not achievable with the bigger engines

I don't think 400kg is realistic on a road car, my mnr when i had the R1 was 485 with half tank gas, and without me in it!

i went through a lot of clutches with the R1

The Aries is way smaller than the mnr though so I'd imagine 440kg is quite possible!

What were you doing to the R1 clutches? My original engine did 18000miles on the original plates and they were still fine when it came out. Nothing wrong with it but just to be replaced with a tuned motor. Thats done 5000 so far with no issues. Standard plates in both but a set of Barnet HD springs in both.
