That's a massive engine!!

Think of it... if that stroke and piston were in a 2 cyl sled... it would be a 1400cc two stroke...GAWD.

With the light weight of the bike... you would think it would make a great 2 stroke mountain masher!

Some pics I've found on the internet...

The second one claims to be a CR500 piston in an Maico 700 Cylinder.

the bigger the piston the faster it grows in comparison to the cylinder as it warms, at least that was my understanding, maybe i'm just paranoid.

700CC of fun

I have done a little research into the maico and had no luck with that but then i found Zabel an engine manufacter in Germany making an engine that is 700CC and a 620cc. Ever heard of a sport called Sidecarcross? Looks like a good way to get messed up. Anyways back to Zabel or the Zabel zm29...
4 speed left hand start right hand chain drive 82 HP no turbo.
Alright sombebody with fab skills and 2 much time ....

I wonder if there are any bikes (that TS already makes fit kit for) that this motor will drop into?
