Popular Post ballpoint Posted October 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2019 Imagine taking a prototype belt driven overhead cam motor that Triumph were experimenting with in the 70s - based on their 750cc Triple, and fitting it to a Fritz Egli frame.

Here's one that's been customised and pared down a bit, to rather stunning effect: Still one of the best looking bike engines ever and a corporate statement of Honda's engineering prowess in the 70's .. said before H had no right to be able to squeeze 6 cylinders into such a compact unit and still make it a looker where by Kawasaki who tried to outgun H with the hideous Z1300 couldn't .. And as much as I love Benelli's Sei it couldn't be argued against that the CBX is/was the best 6 banger of the 70/80's .. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ballpoint Posted October 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2019 German manufacturer Horex is still producing a range of bikes, under the VR6 name, powered by a 161hp, 1,128cc V6. The VR6 engine was originally developed by Volkswagon in the 80's. What makes it ideal for a motorcycle is that the cylinders are angled at just 15 degrees, so they all fit in the same set of barrels, giving it a fairly slim line that doesn't look like a 'V' configuration from the outside. They came out with a new model last year, the VR6 Raw: Also available, amongst others, is the VR6 Café Racer. Not a bad looking bike: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballpoint Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Keeping with 6's, the 1,649cc BMW K1600 GTL... … and 1,833cc Honda Goldwing Tour are also still being produced. I wonder when Triumph will put two Rocket engines together and make a 5 Litre V6? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justgrazing Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) Black Douglas .. A modern take on Vintage biking .. Handmade frame ( Italy I believe ) and a proprietary 230cc lump from Taiwan .. the tanks are hand folded and welded by all accounts .. But they ain't cheap coming in over £ 10k depending on spec' .. And for that I'd want a bit more than a rubber hose held by jubilee clips to a cheap looking filter .. Very few details on the bigger Vee twin at the bottom ..

Yeah i get the workmanship and the fabrication skills, but not THAT MOTOR ! ! !. C'mon... Puleeeeze! Bottom pic is a Harley Evo Sportster lump, a bit better, more suited, but still. A more realistic oldie worldie lump would have been an Enfield lump. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justgrazing Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Fair comment and point taken .. The problem any small scale manufacturer faces in these days of ever tightening emissions is sourcing engines that'll meet them .. Without big investment small scale building you're own is a no no so they are faced with having to buy in .. Black Doug' might've tried to call the shots on the styling of it abit more but could it be who ever makes it is churning out tens of 000's and are not particular to altering it to suit B D 's style .. Thanks for the heads up on origins of the engine in the bottom bike .. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
