Hmmmm 

I think they'll either go with a 600cc I-4 or a 675cc I-3, no reason to mix and match.

Is there some reason they couldn't have an I3 be 600cc? and maybe the term "600" on the MV news page is just the category they are putting the bike in and not it's actual displacement.

[zooom]

it could be...either way...it keeps an interest or a buzz for the potential consumer public....

They very well could make a 600cc I3 but it would not compare well to the japanese 600 bikes (performance -- HP wise).

For a given displacement, a higher number of cylinders (fractioning??? not sure about the term), yields more HP. If you have fewer cylinders, you need to increase displacement to get the same HP: that's why Ducati had the 748/749 and Triumph had the 675 to compete with the 600 jap bikes.

Still thinking that I would go the Daytona route over the F3.  After all, I've been down that road and enjoyed where it went.

I'm keeping an eye on what develops over at Mac Motorcycles (link). They were to source the engine from Buell (Blast), but I read they're working on a new source for production models. Kinda partial to the Ruby. Loving the simplicity for an everyday commuter... and occasional backwoods ramble.



Also looking at Fischer (link) since a 1000cc v-twin is in the works. Given the factory is in Maryland (Eastern Shore) I've been thinking about riding out there one of these Saturdays to see if they've got any kind of showroom (or, at least, a bike to sit on).

That'd be cool! Maybe they'd do a factory-tour thing. Years ago I went with a group to the Buell factory, and while areas were off limits, there was still lots to see.

I've been to Fischer and met Dan a few times.

I can't figure out which one of those I dig better...can NOT park 4 bikes!!!!!

When and where can I buy one of these. I'm holding the cash. Loving the Spud.

No clue on when/where. They're trying to wrap up their prototypes. Last design issue: where to put the battery? Fack that... It's a carbed single cylinder so I think it should be a kick start.
