Winner winner chicken dinner!

Funkiest looking sport bike ever, but it was the first step on the path that led to the S1000RR.

It was a Suzuki. And it had a storage trunk big enough to fit a helmet in where the fuel tank normally goes.

Was it that 250 you told me about one day, it left a grey hase of smoke and unburnt fuel behind you? I cant remember what you told me it was right now.

That was the 2-stroke I just posted about in the for sale section, it could only rev to about 11,000.
This one was in production from 1990 to 1998

I'm thinking of a bike that probably doesn't meet the "mass-production" clause of this game. It was produced to homologate an unsuccessful '90s race bike.

Yes, it's a Japanese make.

The number of con-rods is NOT the same as the number of pistons.

Is it of a 6 stroke/opposing piston design? (not a boxer, two pistons in one bore)

Shaun wins! Figured that one wouldn't take very long at all.

The 1992 NR750 had one of the most bizarre engine configurations ever, an oval-pistoned V4 with two conrods and 8 valves per cylinder bore. Only a few hundred street versions were produced for homologation purposes, and cost around $50,000. You might have seen one in the museum at BMP...

Amazing machine. I read that the biggest engineering challenge in this project was to get an adequate seal from the rings. Its hard to believe the 500cc version developed 130hp. Thats from a 4-stroke with only 500cc!

I guess its my turn again.

Who can guess the name of the limited edition motogp replica that doesnt use valve springs?

I don't know the history of the odd balls like you guys do, I'd be picked off in about 10 seconds.
