I did say the Honda motor would be a good aircraft engine😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not be alive IF I kept it, way past my capability now…..World’s fastest road registerable enduro machine of its day. I also bought the Super Motard Wheel set for it, too. Top speed capability? I won’t mention 🤩 https://youtu.be/hvVMX-QfvTY?si=J66Oi33j4egx4wxp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackc Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 It’s often said that you start small and work up…..Worlds only bike you can double its top speed with factory parts, been there done that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the HP2 motor would go well in an aircraft, 1200 GS motor, with no balance shaft, some good race bits and factory blue printed and dyno’ed. Torque? Heaps 🤩 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thruster88 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 In perfect VFR conditions with no mountains within a couple of hundred miles I once flew a Thruster T500 powered by a BMW 800 boxer coupled to a rotax C gearbox. Similar performance to a 582. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
