I also saw the post promising a Desmocidici. Remember, it doesn't have to be that particular engine to be a viable Ducati option. They could just as easily run an 848, 745, various Monsters or even...

Thanks for the info Neil. That Aprilia mill sure looks the business. Not that I could afford one, but woweezowie! I'll stick with the 883 Harley, suitably upgraded on carb/intake and exhaust, or...

Ah, this is the thread where the V-twin lurks...I think someone mentioned this.

Neil, this is inspiring. I have a much wackier plan, also using a V-twin (or maybe a V4: I've been smitten by the...

Yes indeed. I note that BRM used this on the P25 back in the 1950s and never cured these problems. I'll see if I can find pics somewhere in the library.

Having said that, I love the "everything...

Wow, the finished product! Thanks Greg! I read something about this awhile back on TheKneesliders website. Didn't realize it was so far along.

Thanks Russ. And yes, fwd did (and does) keep bouncing around in my mind. Harry Miller and Leo Goosen did prove that concept didn't they? With the weight, power and torque involved numbers we're...

Thanks Dave. This still doesn't rule out twins. Or triples. So Ducati, Triumph, Harley, Yamaha and (of course) Honda are still on.

As to...

Thanks Russ!

I did check the rules on this and posted a question in the Rules part of the forum to boot. From what I know so far, a V-twin would be compliant. On its face, the rule states...

Hello all! I've been pondering (it's early days yet) various out of the ordinary solutions for an F1000, in particular a F/R layout. Granting that this alone flies in the face of 40 years of...

Thanks Dave. I get what you're saying regarding "expanding" F1000 to meet an FIA standard. Yes, my proposal would allow some other things, mainly powertrain with the two-strokes. I would NOT change...

Greetings all. Two points, the first a a question I posed to MikeB elsewhere: Are front engine/rear drive layouts permitted under these rules? Assuming all the safety and dimensional criteria are...
