Having ridden bikes most of my teen and adult life, I would like to share my
assessment of using motorcycle engines.
I am currently riding an 1800cc ( twin) Suzuki M109R, sports tourer.
1. Their reciprocating engines and prone to the same valve problems.
2. My bike is heavy, the engine is heavy, don't know how heavy.
3. Higher RPM = higher HP
4. Higher RPM = faster wear and metal fatigue.
5. Rated at about 115 hp at some unknown RPM (can't remember).
6. High RPM = higher ratio reduction box
7. Difficult to put into an aircraft, due to configuration.
8. Very expensive engine to purchase and buy parts for (unbelievable).
The negative list goes on and on - can't remember any positives when
comparing to the rotary for aviation use. Yet this is a great engine for a
Motorcycle.
