I'd like to hear your opinions regauring motors that have decent power, are realativly light and can take being thrown around on a regular basis. I've been seriously thinking of building my own frame for a stretfighter project. I'm not sure what kind of power plant I want to use though. I was originly thinking of using a spare TLR motor I have but they're heavy and my not be the best thing for constant abuse. So, for you guys that crash a lot , give me an idea of what you think.

 

well for a 600 my R6 yahama motor have been stunted since 2001 and with 20K on it now it still pulls strong.

honda.

 

Yeah I'm pretty sure they call what your looking for a honda.

 

HONDA

 

900/929rr motors are strong as ****. Those things can take a beating.

 

do not buy a suzuki, especially a srad. they fold like origami art.

 

929 or 954

 

Did anybody mention honda yet?

 

Is the Pope Catholic?? HOnda would be a good choice. They always seemed to be reliable. My 600 runs great

 

i would go with honda them things are reliabe

 

I used to ride a tricked out '99 TL1000R that had had its fuel injection comp remapped; a new tranny; suspension work; and a whole lot of othe stuff. the thing flew. ran liked a scalded cat from a crack-crazed dog

 

Oh, Honda, definitely Honda!

(Was that politically correct enough?)

 

What the hell are you talking about....Yeah if you run into a brick wall............

 

take care of it and it will last or rebuilt it
1 <3 2 or 1 wheelie don't matter

 

Thanks for the input everyone. After looking around a bit, I found some decent deals on 929 and even a few 954 motors. I never was much of a Honda guy till I rode a 900 around for a few weeks. I was very impressed. And obviously they can take a serious thrashing. I may lean twards a 600 for the weight factor. Mybe not an F4i. They seem to have oil pick up issues. But a good f2 or F3 motor can be had for reasonable money and are practicly bullet proof. Buddy of mine has one with over 100k miles and gets abuse daily. Something to think about.

 

if you ain't got wings you ain't flyin

HONDA FOR LIFE

 

as long as it says HONDA on the side you have no worries

 

definalty honda

 

If it hasn't been said enough, Honda, though I think you've found that out. I've beat the snot out of my '00 F4 and its still great.
