Will this engine ever be in a quad?

14,000 rpm and definitely the sweetest looking engine I've ever seen. Now that would make the ultimate duner!

I would love to get a hold of that engine, that thing would do wonders in a quad frame. I just wnder what is the retail going to be for one of those engines, I'd put that engine in the new Honda 450r frame.

That is one bad looking motor... But this line confuses me:

"THE FIRST TWIN-CYLINDER OFF-ROAD ENGINE "

Uh... Banshee
Uh... V-Force

Looks like the PR folks at Aprilia need to have an editor.

Big D,

You've already got the best lookin' 400 engine in America, you don't need this one!:blah:

I wonder if the 450R head could be anodized like the Aprilla's? Is the TRX's head Magnesium? If so, that would be sweet.

Dudefire,

It is actually going to be in their MX/ XC motorcycles. I am only speculating that it could be in a quad someday.

[spincr4hire]

If it makes it onto a dirtbike, it would be the first twin cylinder offroad DIRTBIKE engine...

Thanks a lot, I do love my engine but imagine the power that thing puts out. It would blow mine away.
