The No.7 Britten V1000 at Barber Vintage Motorcycle Museum in Alabama, USA. The Britten V1000 is a handbuilt race motorcycle designed and built by John Britten and a group of friends in Christchurch, New Zealand, during the early 1990s.
The Yamaha XZ550 'Vision' is a 550 cc V-twin, shaft-driven sport touring motorcycle produced by Yamaha in 1982–1983. It was powered by a 4 stroke 70° liquid cooled 4 valve DOHC engine, and featured a trailing front axle and monoshock single swingarm rear.
VS750 The model with 747 cc (45.6 cu in) engine capacity was produced between 1985 and 1991. The engine is a four-stroke, water-cooled, OHC, 45-degree V-twin producing a maximum of 55 HP at 7,500 rpm [citation needed] with a compression ratio of 10:1, giving the bike a top speed of 165 km/h.
The engine is a slightly revised version of the air and oil cooled Suzuki Intruder 1400 motor: a 45° V-twin with offset crank pins to reduce vibrations. It also features shaft final drive and hydraulic clutch with a back-torque limiter. The 3-valve single overhead camshaft valvetrain utilizes hydraulic valve lash adjusters to minimise ...
The bike provided a sporty though easily manageable ride. The combination of light weight, rigid chassis, strong handling, and the V-twin's strong mid-range torque appealed to beginner and experienced riders alike. The 2003 SV1000 was marketed as a bigger alternative to the second generation SV650.
In addition to its immense size and power, the VN2000 was different in one other way for Kawasaki. It is their only V-Twin with external lifters, making it unique in the Vulcan lineup and giving it more of a Harley look. Configuration 2,053 cc (125.3 cu in) 52° V-twin engine; 141 lb⋅ft (191 N⋅m) torque @ 3,000 rpm (claimed) [16]
The VRSC was introduced in 2001 in a single model called the V-Rod aiming to compete against Japanese and American muscle bikes. The V-Rod's Revolution engine was developed for road use by Porsche Engineering with the aid of a few Harley-Davidson engineers [6] [7] [8] from Harley-Davidson's VR1000 V-twin racing bike engine.
The motorcycle also featured a liquid-cooled DOHC V-twin engine producing 66 horsepower and 47 ft-lbs of torque. Notably, the torque curve is quite flat, producing high torque throughout most of the rpm range. And, the engine was underrated and commonly produced 8-10% more than the advertised power during dynamometer testing. [citation needed].
