Thanks! I did watch the Chris Harris Video. Pretty awesome, that thing.

I totally agree. I wish Ford sold that little 3-cylinder as a crate engine. Same with GM and their new "Small Gasoline Engine" 3 and 4 cylinder models. There's a ton of vehicles that would be a hoot with such an engine.

Yeah. oh well, I'll be happy enough with the R1 or GSX-R1000 engine.

How are they for torque? I generally thought bike engines tended to rev higher and had less torque.

That being said, they could still be quite fun in a ride like this.

Torque is generally 50-80ft*lbs. Pretty low, but given a vehicle less than 1000lbs and the engines only weighing 150lbs or less, the torque is more than enough. Especially when you're getting towards 200hp on the liter engines.
