V Quad Motor

Heres something a little different, this is one way to double your horsepower on a V twin motor. At around $20,000 your sure to be the big dog on your block. I imagine it would at least sound really impressive.

And leaks oil twice as fast

...Actually, I am surprised it did only 164mph. Something with that kind of power should be able to do a lot better. I imagine it adds a lot of weight too. It's an answer to a question no one is asking.

Nice looking engine.

I remember the first time I saw a Boss Hoss and a Triumph Rocket III. The conversation led to, when is bigger, not necessarily better but just too much?
I guess that is why I've always been satisfied with my 1500.

If I could find places to go 130-135 MPH on Long Island, I am sure I can find somewhere to go 164 MPH out west. Just saying. That or I'll take a trip to the Autobahn again. ::)

I know.

OCC used one a couple of years ago. They looked really stupid trying to figure out how to get the thing running right. The bike was for Intel, so there was a bunch of electronics on it - so not their element.

**ringadingh** · 02-14-2011, 10:48 PM

Ive never reached 164mph, but I came close on my Suzuki GSX, I got it to 155 early one Sunday morning.
Your right Gregg, things happen really fast.

Yamaha V-Max has been around since 1984. Smooth and more than enough.

Why not?

fatrat45 · 02-15-2011, 09:22 AM

cant even think of going that fast anymore. that is way to much motor for a bike to ride daily. not for me looks good but no.

ponch · 02-15-2011, 09:49 AM

There are roads out west that if the alignment is good on your car, you probably could put the cruise control on and take a nap. :) I remember drive across 15 in the Mojave and going 100 in a car and it was like I wasn't moving at all.

Also to put things in perspective, in 1994 I honeymooned in europe, we rented a car and drove 2000km in 8 days. I remember driving on the autostrada in Italy and being passed by a Lamborghini when i was going 170km/h. That's about 105 mph. Needless to say, he was doing about 150-160 for sure. With all the land we have and the open roads, it surprises me that we should have such a puritanical attitude about speed, especially out west where people tend to be more free thinking.
