Check this out 2.5 litres, V6 240hp:  http://www.motofgr.com/aktualityv6_en/ (http://www.motofgr.com/aktualityv6_en/)


I did a search, but came up empty...I hope this isn't a Derby.

The derby game is scary - you just never know [evil]

This engine will be offered for independent builders......

Mark? Stu?

2011 FGR Midalu 2500 V6 245 CV official photo compilation (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=La7R1KoEahI&feature=fvw#normal)

I think the designers did a good job at making it look pretty slim and trim.  235lbs for 2.5L V6 isn't too shabby either.

235 lbs. is the motor weight though.  Looking at the videos on that site I have to believe this thing weighs quite a bit as a whole.  All the corners I saw were a pretty wide berth and at a pretty slow pace. 

Maybe the riders just sucked.  The first guy was an old fatass so I didnt think much about it but the other guy was a pretty thin character and I thought maybe an actual test rider he went slightly faster but still looked like a tank in the corners.

595 pounds according to motorcycle.com.  250 hp and 150 ft lbs from a 2,5 liter V6?  I'm not impressed.

Seems to have the fore to aft proportions of a buffalo. Likely handles like one as well. I like the spirit of the bike but it needs refinement.
