Actually not a terrible idea. Several bike engines have more torque and more horsepower than a stock 2.0.
If I had a choice it would be the new Supercharged direct injected sea doo engine. 225 horsepower and 180 pounds of torque in a package that weighs substantially less than a porsche 4 banger. Shouldn't be to difficult to fab up a bellhousing and flywheel to mate it to the 901 transaxle and all the goodies are on the engine already in a compact package Kart54 |

Isn't that actually the Aprilla 1000cc? They are using it in the Can-Am Spyder.
