Hi guys this is a little motorhead dream that i used to have and still do for 20 some years now. could you iamgine if suzuki would come up with a lt1000r limited edition model and have it look very much like to 90 model and be twin cylinder and have the same bore and stroke and have the chassic wider and longer just to compensate for that big engine and have the crank and bearing problem fixed could you imigime the sound that S.O.B would have with twin exhaust and power it would have.he would have to duct tape is hands to the handle bars just to hold on. well this is just a pipe dream that i wounted to share with you. o well that how things get made .
The rocking couple produced with a 180 degree twin, with two 500cc cylinders, would be very difficult to keep the vibrations to an acceptable level. Talk to some of the Banshee engine builders that have built the 1000cc 180 deg. twins.
Making both cylinders fire simultaneously would eliminate the rocking couple but would make the effort required to kick start it twice hard, plus the counterbalancer would have to be huge.
