Radical Extreme Sports Cars started building race cars powered by superbike engines back in 1996. They began using Suzuki engines and it looks like they have been fairly successful. Their latest creation, the SR8, goes a step farther. Instead of just dropping in a complete engine, they built a V8 by grafting two Hayabusa engines together. So far the figures are 372hp and the ability to rev to over 10,000rpm, which is not unusual in a motorcycle but quite a spin in a car. The SR8, depending on gearing can top 200mph.

QUOTE; Another thought, why don’t some of those guys who insist on stuffing Chevy V8s into those oversized monstrosities try a Hayabusa V8 instead. That’s a far more elegant design from an engineering standpoint and the bike wouldn’t have to look like an elephant. Just a thought.

Hmmmmm, take one perfectly good Busa, add another one, bolt'em all together with some extra panelling etc etc etc, just so that you can catch a Busa, while sitting like a Humpty Dumpty rider. Hmmmmmmmm [8D]

Does seem like the long way to go around things. :)








Not that I wish to be cynical or anything[8)]

I wa thinking less Hardley Dangerous / Boss Hoss
and more V-Max / B-King style [8D]

Definitely feet forward on that one, and not much lean forward to the bars either.

TBH if you've got a decent car, and a good bike, why go for some hybrid of the two. You'll never scrape you're knee on the hybrid, and it'll never tow you're trailer.

Not sure why it would HAVE to be a cruiser ?

Yeah, but they're bikes, not cars with bike engines

Gotta love those Drysdale bikes.

from an engineering standpoint thats a hell of a nice piece of work

look how small it is and 372 hp out a normaly aspriated 2.6L motor thats impressive

Yeah,
(probabley bored you with this story before)
I got to Meet Allen Millyard who build the V12 Z2300 a few
years back, he was explaining how he sleeved down the bores and rebored them off-centre so he could fit opposite con-rod to each of the original crank-pins and how the original front barrels sat too upright so he re-machined the crank-cases to tilt them further forward, chatting away, as if it was a perfectly normal thing to do!!!

that is awsome to have met someone how has done that to those motors i have always been intrested in how they do the mods - have a good idea but not sure of the exact way they go about it
it would have been real intresting and i would have proberly bored him to tears with questions as long as he would let me

Yeah, Top Bloke,

Met him at the Classic/Mechanics show in Stafford.
Sure the fellow Pommie's will know of it.

He had a Butchered H2 motor in bits he was assembling
explaining how to make a 4-pot 1000cc 2-stroke by putting
the crank cases together 1 cylinder out and extending the
opposite ends to match the overlap. He had built several
using what he discribed as "Basic tools" !

Think I read somewhere he had a Honda C90 step-through when
he was a kid and turned it into a V180 or similar.

Needless to say, I was impressed by him [8D]

i remember seing a 750 triple been made into a v6 and put into a compact speed car ( like a v8 sprint car only smaller and no wings ) it went well and didnt seem to have any problems. unfortuanitly i didn't get a chance to talk to the guy

the guy is a legend, it was his work that inspired me to go into engineering, always wanted to cast a ceramo/alloy engine (1/2 the weight of any comercially avaliable alloy and amazing strength, just not very tough as they shatter to easily)

damn i miss my old workshop.
