feedmelies Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 No. There are better frames to use and better engines to put in them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 The raptor 660 is a great frame to use. It allows for much taller engines with out chopping the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bansheeb0y5505 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 ok but just curious how much hp does a r6 make??? around 125 give or take. Same goes for cbr600, gsxr600, etc. If you want to go crazy. r1's are around 150 same as cbr1000rr, gixxer 1000, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've seen one that was faster than an equal to, or slightly lesser hp Banshee. I'm sure they're out there, I just haven't seen it. If they were very fast, more people would build them, because it's generally cheaper to buy a used crotch rocket motor than to build a Banshee motor. Just for everyday riding and reliability, I'm sure those engines would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 I think a V twin out of a Suzuki SV1000s would make a nice quad engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
