WANTED XS 650 Engine

For a Flattracker prefer at least a 750 but happy if it's bigger
Like 840 / 880

The  big stoker engines are used more in MX sidecar roles for torque, low and mid range grunt , perhaps not the power/speed for a flattrack solo. The modified 650/750's seem the go.

You are right,
But apparently with cc,s comes horsepower and Michelin Trials tyres take care of that,

Walter I have purchased Several WP from you 10 to 20 years ago,
I have a reasonable understanding of your engines
It is an ex Sidecar engine that I am wanting that's why I asked here,
I will call you on Tuesday since I am a one fingered typist and have no time for email $#!t either

 I don't recall being offered a rough bike for $635 Walter but I'll take your word on it, it must have been a long time ago though ???. Do you think I can't afford something decent Walter? With respect mate, you have no idea what I can and can't afford but not to worry, I got a complete stocker from the US for $170. That'll do me. ;)

The last thing you should do Firko is take his word for it as his past track record is well proven.

Wasp going to work shortly will call you today.
Motor is for a Mule Chassis out of San Diego, (Richard builds some of the best StreetTrackers in the World).
Jemco headers Supertrapp XR Mufflers,
Real Storz Alloy XR tank,
My plan is to get Kevin Curtain to ride it,
He has said No so far but Giles, Willis and Troy might con him into it,
2013 will be the beginning of Big Twin Flattrackers in OZ

This is for Dirt, not tar
Will need to rev but not to Infinity.
I have several but Mick Muldoon will build the other.
I have an even better guest Pilot for that one!

An 850 Engine is just fine for now,
I am happy to Sponsor the Sidecars at Lakes and do everything possible to help including a workshop, storage and mechanics.
But my priority is the Flattrackers,
I might be interested in one after the titles but for now one 850 engine.
