TRX850 enging in a 3TJ

[Kayla850]

You hit the nail on the head, A small compact inline twin is the way forward. Look at the facts, it takes a modern (light weight) 650 twin in a 400 chassis with 90bhp or more to beat a tuned 400.

I think parallel twins are brilliant, but they're not 'sexy' like v-twins, are they? Marketing guff has a lot to answer for!

Shit, im know looking at a spare RRSP race chassis thinking about the possibilties????

Anyone got a spare 500cc 2-smoke single kicking about? Or even 2 with a custom cranck and case, that would be a challenge.

I know a French guy put a RD500 engine in a 4DX

RD500 3tj???? About 100bhp?? And a possible 120kg?? that would be an experience! 0.8333 BHP/KG

The RD500 lump is still heavy though, the 350 would be better-

The TRX lump may not be the best in the world but it's what I have and if I can get the TRX lump in the FZR and keep it to about 150KG it's going to be quite a bit better than what I'm using at the moment as it has the same power but weighs 175KG!!

On the note of 2 smokes I have heard tell of 2 CR500 barrels on a custom bottom end making a CR1000 V twin. I don't know any more that that but that has got to have been fun!!

I have weighed the TRX lump and it's about 75KG with carbs and oil.

If I could get what I wanted it would be a 1000cc parallel twin with a stacked box like the R1 / R6 nice and short light weight and plenty of punch!! But dreams don't power bikes....
....yet!!
