This is pretty awesome

A brief glimpse at the valve cover says it's a 1.9L

I think it needs a turbo. That would be scary to ride :shock:

It was found in the forum at http://www.jockeyjournal.com . Performance is probably regular 1.9NA 65hp? That's still no slouch for a bike. A Giles pump would be sweet.

Yeah, and maybe you would get 14 cm unrestrained at idle. :wink:
