Another dumb idea. 👍

I think 8.25hp is way too much for a bike, the bike wheels, frames, brakes are not designed for the impact caused by the high speed driven by so much power. The highest power for a bike engine may be below 3 hp (or roughly 100 cc).

Might want to tell that to a lot of members here with 2 strokes making that much or more in terms of power.

There are many ways to upgrade a bike to handle the power. My Phantom 85 build is probably making close to 8hp and is 85cc.

P.S. The engine here is 100cc

Makes me wonder what he would think of just the power we have in our Phantom 85s capable of 50+ MPH out of the box...lol...lol.

I get rough 4.5-5 hp from 66.5cc's ( mild tuning). When running rocket fuel mixes at a higher concentration, I can get around 7-8 hp. I can do a lot more, and probably get around 15-18hp. The engines wouldn't last very long though. Rocket fuel reduces the life of the engine to around 1500-2000 miles, the fuel tends to eat stuff made of aluminum ( slowly, but if you wash it out after each run, it doesn't corrode much at all) and run very hot.

Do you mean liquids hydrogen when you say rocket fuel?

 

[Karl Snarl]

No hydrogen here. There are thousands of different types of rocket fuels. I use a liquid I mix with non ethanol gasoline.

Still nothing back about that Orange Barrel cruiser. Seems to be a common theme with marketplace sales. Never hear anything back, but the listing is active.

On the flip side, I may have found an alternative place to put said engine, and in a Suzuki no less. Might make a fun project. Guy is trying to sell it along with a Yamaha 2 stroke dirt bike as a pair for 500 bucks.

It can be registered for street use. Might be a fun bike to turn into a city bike.

If the seller wanted to hose them off then they would look like $200 worth.
