Default Honda's newest VTEC engine...

0.8L VTEC, 11,800 redline, 131 BHP per liter!








Actually, the VTEC engine is completely different technology, sharing the VTEC name only...

Great shot of the engine. Power-to-weight a cheap bike will beat the best auto on the planet. With this said, I had to give up my Ducati to get my S2000, but it was very well worth it. Nothing like replacing a high-strung bike with a high-strung car!!

No one really knows how much power this engine will put out. MFGs never claim HP on bikes and we won't know until MO or a magazine dynos it. I personally would love to buy that bike if it made 120rwhp... I wanted the older model, but at only 95-100 hp, it was just dang slow. A sport-touring bike like that with the 120 hp or so would be perfect for me.

It's not a Superbike it's a F1 GP bike. I presume that your talking about the 5 cylinder. 500GP's are going Four Stroke in 2002! ZOOM ZOOM!
