Potential bike derived V12!!!
Discussion
The replacement for the Hyabusa is rumored to have a straight six engine of 1100cc.
Doubled up, as in the Cyclone et al bike derived V8s, that gives us a 2200cc V12.
Don't expect I'll be able to afford the result but it'll be interesting to see if anyone takes this route.
PS
What was the bike derived V16 (yes - sixteen) at the NEC last year with "Calaway" on the cam covers for? 5200cc and circa 600bhp IIRC !!!

Yeah, but it's as fugly as sin.
It's a replacement for the Hayabusa's role as a tourer (which is really what it was supposed to be) rather than its adopted role as a balls-out machine that was used in every mentally disturbed way possible.
I don't think it will become the bike engine of choice for Ving

You don't think A V12 would be popular then? Why not?
It shouldn't be harder to do than a V8 version of a four.

I agree it wouldn't be significantly harder, and it might be popular as fairly much the smallest V12 you can get.
It's just as I understand it the new 6-pot engine does not have the same potential as the older 4-pot.
Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of a small V12.
The V16 was from the Callaway firm, you just spelled wrong.
that engine is bassed around 4 yamaha R1 cylinderblocks and heads thus givving a total of 16 X 5 = 80vavles......
just imagine that being put on the rear end of you car " 4L V16 80V "
it does 550hp @ 10Krpm

They seem to lose some of the sweet tone somehow...

I know what you mean.
As I understand it the engine in the SR8 is technically not a V8. I'm not sure of the exact configuration but I believe it really operates more like a pair of 4-pots.
