Wouldn't it be neat to desmo valve one of these bikes? Imagine a looper
running 9,000 rpms! Theres pictures of this done on a round head guzzi at
www.desmodromology.com.

An increase in bore will yield more hp by generating more torque without shifting the rpm of the torque peak downward. My experience with riding loop frames is a half hour ride on a well used Ambo with a Velorex chair & 200 lb. passenger, and a 50 mile ride I took last Tuesday night on an Eldo with 9000 original miles on the clock. My conclusion is they have comparable grunt, any advantage with the Eldo was due to the flexibility afforded by the 5 speed gearbox. Both are great rides! If you want either of these machines to make power, get the rpms up above 4000. The bore to stroke ratio on both these machines is way oversquare (bore larger than stroke) and they like to rev. The perfect primary balance afforded by the 90 deg. V configuation keeps the vibes at bay and things seem perfectly happy spinning up to amazing speeds. Just my 2 cents worth. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer athttp://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ============================================================ Good, Better, BEST!
