When is a motorcycle engine, not a motorcycle engine

[willieworld]

what i meant stan was for van to please not just to say that i was wrong but if  he thought i was to explain why he thought i was---i wasnt convinced                   willie buchta

I spoke to Van one time and was clear as a freshly wiped window as to what the engine could be run in (and also to what it could not be run in as well) however now I see that Willie must be getting one for Sheri's new bike..20K 

Congrats willie, tell her to hold on tight, that motor makes about 275+HP at the wheels in a car.

no we are pushrod folks our best sponser is the local harley shop --- as you can see van was very clear in the letter also---i just dont think it matched the rule book--but i will go with what van said--but that doesnt mean i wont try to change it --i really believe the motorcycle classes should be reserved for motorcycle engines -------------------------willie buchta

Add my thanks. Not only for the rules clarification but the general range of opinions.

Willie
please tell us exactly what rule "YOU THINK" that the SCTA is not enforcing.... and maybe while your on a SCTA bashing roll, maybe you can tell up of exact instances that you have first hand knowledge of the SCTA not enforcing their rules (no hearsay)

Here's something I didn't learn until this morning, when Denis Manning was talking at/with me:  The motor in the Bub #7 bike is NOT a "one-off".  There are two of them -- one for the dyno and testing, the other in the bike.

So - it's a two-off -- I'll allow you to say that.

JW,

Actually I was told Dennis had three sets of cases and enough parts to assemble two engines..

Just out of curiosity. Would a Busa V8 be classified as one engine or two? In other words, would you be allowed to run two of them?

[willieworld]

it is one engine--they might make you a deal on two ----what class would you run in    willie buchta

Blimey...........I never thought my question would cause that much of a response......Thank you All!

We had a good result for our first time out at Bub's on our Cbr600rr (MPS650BG) we managed the FIM record and 190mph out of the little thing.

I suppose I should put my money where my mouth is now and build a V8 monster.............See you all on the Salt..........Steve Burns

In the classes they run you could run 4 of them if you could afford it...
Just because they have adapted bike parts to cars does not make them car parts and exclude them from bikes  :|

in the motorcycle classes only 1 or 2 engines are allowed                         willie buchta

That is why I was wondering if one V8 which is essentially two Busa motors joined with a single crank and crankcase counts as one or two engines.

One engine only...
