Is the reason why a motorbike engine won't work in a car because they can't produce high torque at low RPM?
I have a 1.3 litre Mitsubishi Colt.
Maximum power output 94 BHP at 6000 rpm
Maximum torque 92 FT/LB at 4000 rpm
Honda 2017 CBR1000RR
1 litre
Maximum Power output 189 HP at 13,000 RPM
85.6 FT/LB at 11,000rpm
They arnt designed to interface with the cars drive train. But if you could modify it to, it would work. Its a matter of gearing.
?
they do work in cars. You get lots of power in a small compact package. They can be very effective in home made and kit cars.
the downsides are the very high revs to do much of anything, no reverse gear, and, being a high-revving engine they aren't as durable as "real" car engines. They live fast and they die young. The link is to a jay leno video of a honda s600 with a motorcycle engine. It goes like stink and looks like a lot of fun but would be a lousy daily driver…
- What's the deal with honda not being able to use coolants with silicates if it makes the coolant better and safer for the engine. Reason? Is it for a reason or just honda wants our cars to last shortly? Any more answers i was checking out that video then checked and notice newer cars don't use the coolant anymore so what's the deal we have to go back to inferior coolant i've read it eats the seals in cars? Any more information?
- What motorbike manufacturers produce 50cc motorbikes? I have seen a motorbike which i like called the Honda MSX125… This is a 125cc motorbike, and i was wondering if anybody knows of the equivalents but a 50cc version? Can be any manufacturer! I'm talking about motorbikes, not scooters/mopeds/mini motos, its a proper motorbike, but a little smaller than normal ones.
- I was looking at q a 2003 Honda 750 ACE because it has low miles. But I was wondering about what I should look at because of that? It's 14 years old and only has 1,900 miles on it. That means it's more than likely been sitting a while. I haven't messaged the person about it yet but I was just wondering what I should look for if I did go and look at the bike? Any suggestions?
- Why does my car engine rev up and down? It revs up and down all the way up to 3x rpm and down? Also when i step on the gas pedal it revs up all the way to the top 8x rpm and stays right there even when i let go of the gas pedal. Please anyone who can tell me why this happens? This is a 1995 honda civic by the way
