A friend just swapped a vtwin Yamaha for this '96 year GW......looking at the specs maybe this could offer the Valks something. Same HP, 10 more foot pounds, 4 valves per cylinder......maybe our 6 carb setup would fit and get a few more ponies.....oh yeah, 6 speed transmission!!!!!!!
1996 GW SE
Engine Type: 1520 cc, 4 Stroke - Liquid Cooled - Boxer Six
Engine Bore and Stroke: 71 mm x 64 mm
Valves 4 valves/cylinder
Claimed Horsepower: 100 hp (74.6 kW) @ 5200 rpm
Maximum Torque: 150 Nm (110.6 ft. lbs) @ 4000 rpm
Transmission type: 6 speed
Final Drive: Shaft

Where did you get that info, from the seller? This is from the spec sheet on a 1988 GoldWing: Type 1520 cc, liquid cooled, 6 - cylinders boxer, 4-stroke Bore x stroke (mm) 71 mm x 64 mm Valves 2 valves/cylinder Power 100 hp (74.6 kW) @ 5200 rpm Torque 150 Nm (110.6 ft. lbs) @ 4000 rpm TRANSMISSION Gearbox 5 speed Final drive Drive shaft http://www.goldwingworld.com/pages/specgl1500.htm2 valves, 5 speed; same for the GL1800. Honda has never made a 6 speed gearbox, unless you mean 5 speed + reverse. And the 1500 Wing does have reverse! So does any I/S shipped to Japan. Fred. |

I've been kicking around a crazy idea for awhile. A subaru 2.0 turbo motor easily makes 200-250 h.p. It's similar in size to the valk motor. Hard part would be mating the tranny/clutch and getting the rear splines to live. It would be reliable (motor) and stupid fast. Maybe I'll try it some day if I get a second valk to rip apart  |

You might want to have another look into the EJ205 Subaru engine. I have both WRX and Valkyrie in my garage and I really do not think that engine would fit in the frame, especially with all the kit like radiators and intercooler and such. Sorry to rain on your parade....  |

So now I know why my GW 1500 friends are not impressed with my hot rod Valk....they have had the same hp and even more torque than my 6 carb hot rod for several years and have not had to put up with the noisy gear train whine. Man am I disillusioned, I am ready to sell this thing, for today only I will part with this dog for $16,000.00 US dollars.....email me at " riowil@iamadisillusioned.com.rade" with your offers...........  |

How much different is the 1800cc engine in the wing? Any interchangability?

I read some stuff in the archives that said the 1800 doesn't fit at all and wasn't worth it for 10 more h.p. About the subie thing, Like I said crazy idea. I took some measurments off my friends buggy it's only about an inch wider and a bit taller. Without all the smog crap it's pretty compact.......proly just a dream.......  |

I'm planing on keeping the frame from my IS, and after I tear apart the motor I'll have the block. Don't know how the tranny will end up, it's siezed, I might have enough stuff sitting around to give some measurements if you need them. |

The Subaru sounds interesting.....I got to sit on a Boss Hoss (350 Chevy 402 hp) and rev'ed the engine.....better have the feet firmly planted cause the torque roll is pretty significant!!

I've ridden the 350 Boss Hoss a couple times. They handle surprisingly well for their size and weight. The acceleration was incredible. Though I understand it's not more than a Hyabusa or ZX-14. But I haven't ridden them. You sure feel omnipotent on a BH. And man do they garner stares. Took me a couple tries to hook up from a standing start without smoking the tire. Once I got that down - I counted off 3 seconds and checked the speedo - I was at about 100. I really wanted one - but it was too much money for such a specialized bike. The Gold Wing made more sense for my second bike.

Besides that, The Boss Hoss runs with a car tire on the rear! *** |

The owner of the BH I sat on did offer to let me ride it, but I was in White Horse and 4000 miles from home......got to thinking if I did something stupid....it would be a looooong way home to ride banged up.
Sorry I missed the thrill tho...

 If you are riding and it is a must that you keep your eyes on the road, you are riding too fast. |

Any idea what tire that is? Looks like a car/MC hybrid.
