Pete: A 250cc “horizontal” liquid cooled, single cylinder motor mated to a six-speed manual gearbox that fits within my frame design. Great! I think there is something special about the 125-175cc-engine size. The 125-175 bore and stroke combination is optimum for the scale of flame travel. Unfortunately, a single 125 does not have the power. Until recently, I would have said that a 250 made of two 125s had too much power. Not any more. Two of them, Ninja style look like the best way to do things.
I have always liked the scooter configuration. Now I need it. I broke my hip in 1976 racing my RD350 at road Atlanta and it is catching up to me. Hard to throw my leg over the seat anymore.
I am probably not going to make a new bike. My time will be better spent finishing the tooling to provide kits for my streamliner.
I do hope you can squeeze your new motor into your creation. You have so much work in it.
