| Re: Introducing the 2798cc Joe Rocket Goldwing! That's awesome... wtf is the motor from a Boxster? I'm surprised the heads are big enough to house 4 inch slugs. |

| Re: Introducing the 2798cc Joe Rocket Goldwing! Thanks for that one, Nedro. Not sure if it is indeed a Porsche crossover, or a pure Honda? Any further information? |

| Re: Introducing the 2798cc Joe Rocket Goldwing! After reading that announcment, I thought I could do it one better. I bought my wife a 2005 Subaru Outback. It comes with a 250hp flat 6 boxer engine. I've got to do some more measuring but....Ya think it might fit the Wing?

| Re: Introducing the 2798cc Joe Rocket Goldwing! I think I would burn my retinas if I looked directly at it.

| Re: Introducing the 2798cc Joe Rocket Goldwing! Does the site of that Big Monster scare you that much?
Or are you afraid of being passed in a turn by one of those?

| Re: Introducing the 2798cc Joe Rocket Goldwing! Nothing like running a 9 second quarter at the track only to be passed by a bagger.
I've got an uncle that rides a GoldWing. That thing with an 1800 will move. It won't outrun a sportbike by any means, but it'll make any sportbiker think twice before challenging one. Have you ever seen those things run Deals Gap - unreal. They handle very well. |
