    Yeah, I hates {internet + engine_weights}. You never get the same answer twice, because no one even says what condition the motor was in when they weighed it. For 7Ms, the weight I usually find includes the transmission for some unknown reason. :rolleyes:

    The Motus engine was designed by Katech, it's worth its weight in gold. I'd put it in a shifter kart, or racing mower, or something really stupid like that.

    Oh, and oldeskewltoy, my 4AGE 20v, fully dressed except for the AC compressor, weighs 300 lbs. Add 10 lbs because that's with an aluminum flywheel.

    but that engine ISN"T fully dressed... lets be fair... a long block weighs about 200#s, and that is all they are weighing is a long block

    What advantage does this engine have over a Hayabusa lump?

    I've seen V4's based on the old small block, never seen one on a bike though. That would make more sense than one of those V8 Bikes
