2400cc. Thats the same size as the motor in MANY compact cars. 2.4L....It would have to be seriously detuned or im not sure you'd ever get the wheel to hook up. Maybe so. Would be a fun project for sure!! LOL

Wonder if it's 2.4L on SPOKED WHEELS...

I like to poke fun as much as the next guy, but maybe we need to reel this in a bit.
This person is most likely new to bikes and has made a mistake.
Lets do the right thing and simply help him with the bike.

i agree with 8trackmind, don't judge the book by its cover unless its a porn mag

And some not so compact cars. That's the size of the engine in my van that we took to get your bike from Lurch.



Here is another bike that is about 2300cc and seems to go "OK", too. It's another one-off from Allen Millyard, in England. (< click the links for more details.)






Here is some of his other work, (< click)

The V-8 KZ1600 mentioned in one of the articles above is in the Barber Motorsports Museum, just outside Birmingham, Alabama.

That's a big engine for a small car. A lot of the Jap cars over here these days have engines less than 2000cc. I drive a van with a 1.4 litre motor in it.

Agreed,

2400cc, welcome to the forum dude. No harm intended, we're just being silly. The guys here are very friendly and will give you the best advice about motorbikes that you'll get anywhere.


Note: I remember making the exact same mistake myself many years ago. I thought "my god that's a big engine for a bike!" It was when I first bought my 550 too (1989 I think).

Oh yeah, For sure! I was just teasing.
By all means let's help the dude out. He's got a cool bike and needs some help with it. I was nearly that clueless when I found this forum and all you guys rocked with the help you dished out.

Thats terrible advice, the girls on the cover always look better than girls inside...

Morris Minor? Austin Mini? A35? Had to be an A series Engine...

The ribbing should be taken in the way it was intended - it's a great story to tell later on (how I got my forum name 2400cc etc)
