OOooooohh! nice! Simple is the trick! True flat top promotes flame travel over that huge expanse and skirtless design reduces mass (a little). Who cares that the connecting rods won’t live past 5000 rpm. How do you use 175 lb/ft torque on a reasonably sized rear tire?

Staple that monster on the front of the ACE Cycle Car. You’d have something then. Wow!

@freeman, re: 300hp at 6000 rpm
the motor will not survive 6000 rpm, not with those con-rods.

‘there is no way a big twin is going to compete with a multi-valve per cylinder DOHC motor’
My bike is a v-twin with a multi-valve per cylinder DOHC.

Ted is right, the speed of the piston can’t be that much given the pistons’ size,,, and by not that much I mean VERY slow imho,,, but i’d be happy to be proven wrong,,,
