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?

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?

No wonder why they built it in Aus, we don't have 4 inch slugs in the states.

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.

Re: Introducing the 2798cc Joe Rocket Goldwing!

i happened to be lucky enough to purchase the Joe Rocket cbr1000rr press bike, that has also had some " tweaks " by the race team

as with the goldwing, the cbr is no ordinary blade thats for sure , it makes other blades feel like kawasakii`s lmao

this is Adam " krusty " Fergusson doing a few laps before the journo`s had a run at Winton Raceway

Welcome to the site. Do you ride it much? Have you had it on the track? I can imagine how fun it must be.
