<VV> Motorcycle engine - limited but possibly interesting Corvair content

[chieftam at aol.com]

If you haven't seen it, search for link to Motus MTS-01 or MTS-R American made motorcycle.  With help from Pratt & Miller and Katech, they have engineered a direct injected V4 that is essentially a scaled down version of the Chevy LS family of V8's.  A cute little thing, It is only 18 inches wide and weighs 130 lbs. while putting out 160 horsepower.  Don't know torque level, but it is still an interesting looking engine.  It would be substantially less weight than the Corvair flat 6, with more HP, just don't know if there would be enough torque.  Bet there would be some interesting uses.  How about in a dune buggy or sport ATV/side-by-side.
