Ducati fastest

Bravo Loris !

CDIHL

 

Yawn. Again?

 

Bravo Bayliss- he worked on his race setup. works for Bayliss- he's the guy
that is finishing races.

V4- now where did that idea come from?


Chris

 

No.

Jules

 

That was what was originally claimed but there is way too much vibration to
deal with doing it this way. I don't know the firing order and I suspect it
is secret, but it is certainly not the double V-twin thing.
Simon

 

really?

 

Bingo!

But I'll hazard the Ariel Square Four though....


not quite a 90degree vee four but none-the-less....

not Honda as some were expecting

They only first produced single swingarms, underseat exhausts, mono-shock
rear ends, and USD forks.

Chris

 

Nope- it fires 360, or like a road VFR800. not the 180 like the RC30. I
heard one (Desmosedici) on RPM a few weeks ago, off the bottom throttle you
can't miss it

now a V5 is another story.......

 

If thats true they cant be the first with songle sided swingarms then. BMW
in '79

 

the VFR750R RC30 had SSSA in the mid-late 80s

Nev..
'02 CBR1100XX #2

 

correct about 1987-88 was about 12500 dollars landed first shipment

the second shipment was 16500k

I understood the Squariel to be a twin-crank double-parallel twin. No
relation to a V4.

Theo

 

I don't know for sure but I was told colloquially that the weakness of the
Squariel was that because it was a single-crank the pistons were at an angle
to the crank at ignition.......
Zebee will know.....
Clem

 

But if that was the case, then it couldn't be a square four; it'd be more of
a rhomboid...

 

your correct , twin cranks and if the magneto was mal adjusted used to
kick like blazes..

 

Let me consult the "annoying prat" section of my Ivory Tower Library ...

"One of the most famous roadsters of all, Ariel's Square Four
was also one of the longest lived, remaining in production in
various forms from 1931 to 1958. The Square Four, whose
powerplant was effectively a pair of geared-together parallel
twins [...] In all those forms the "Squariel" was superbly
smooth, but suffered from overheating problems
with its rear cylinders".

I was 99.9% certain but didn't want to commit myself totally.

At work without his motorcyclopaedias. I have about three.

 

Hey Clem, did I mention that my brother had one of those?

Actually I thought there was a more common Squariel of 600 cc.
