new twenty questions game
I thought of a new game tonight. Sportbike Twenty Questions.
Rules:
the bike in question must be a sportbike from the modern era, i.e. something released after the original GSX-R750. It must be mass-produced. I think a Bimota would qualify, but a Mondial would not. An NS400R would be eligible but a TZ750 would not.
I think it would be best if the 'asker' provide a specification of some sort each time a wrong guess is made. For example;
"is it an FZR600?"
"it has a bore of 56mm"
I have an idea for a fun one to start with.
Which motorcycle was released as a race-replica with 1 valve per cylinder?

Re: new twenty questions game
Remember this is only mass produced, modern sportbikes released or still in production after the original GSX-R750 was released.
I guess a wankel has 1 valve per rotor - the rotor itself, but the bike I have in mind has 4 cylinders.

I think I need to redefine the original specification. After looking at some cutaways, Fixxers point of a Wankel rotor acting as a valve reminded me that this engine has 2 valves per cylinder. Both are aluminum.

Ok, going the opposite direction, this bike is a sport-tourer with 16 valves.
