Yamaha should just shove one of their engines in the 86.

Boom! God Machine.

Holy crap!!!!1
Did they add a zero by accident?

joe strummer · 10-18-2015, 04:15 AM

No, no added zeros. I guess there are some people out there with a lot of money, and Honda knows where they live.

To make it even more ludicrous- from Cycle World:

-The European-spec bike has a claimed output of 157 peak horsepower at 11,000 rpm, while the U.S. machine will make 101 hp at 8,000 rpm. If it’s any consolation to potential American buyers, the Japanese domestic version is limited to 68 hp at 6,000 rpm.

-There's a performance kit available to only the Euros for $12,000 that boosts HP to 212 at 13,000 rpm.

I really would like to meet the people who buy this bike. I imagine it wouldn't be hard to separate them from their money.

You mention motorcycle manufacture and concept car and I immediately think of this.

Yahama has designed many engines for Toyota and even had a hand in designing the engine in the original Taurus SHO. I doubt they'd actually make their own car but it would be cool if they showed a car they are building an engine for.

Didnt they help design the 4age?

ChrisFL · 10-21-2015, 05:48 PM

Most of Toyota's performance engines were designed and/or built by Yamaha

Sure, why not? Since they're never going to actually produce it, might as well say it has a million horsepower and retractable wings

Impossible. I'm a 22 year old male, and so obviously I'm invincible!

Also they did the LFA engine (v10 with the size of v8)
