Thread: 215 HP standup...

Check out this crazy build in America...

They have transplanted a 215hp RXP engine into and SXR standup.. They are using it for a show demo ski for a 13 yr old rider...

Awsome stuff...

This is my 100th post so it should be profound and enlightening .
bugger .


Ski is cool tho .
Must be nice to be able to take a brand new SXR tear it to pieces and put a brand new 215 motor in it . And just for kicks . Can't even race the thing!!!!

MAAAAAAAAAAD, the motor alone is about 100kg + , you wouldn't nose stab it ....

SXR turns into a submarine ....

Yeah you would just go over the wave and you'll nose stab every time...

COOL...

"The pump or couplers will explode; Acceleration will halt. The somewhat nose heavy SX-4 ski will sub then roll at 68.9 m.p.h and Brandon will rag doll with reckless abandon at a distance of 65 feet, surface, recover, only to rise thither with his inebriate soul."

This pretty much sums it up . If the kid spends as much time riding as he does doing his hair he might be ok .

I would be much more excited if they were doing a more viable project . Something around the 110_120hp range and light and reliable . Something Kawasaki would sit up and take notice of .

I have a Spare 800 Rotax good for 130hp , another project ....

yeah that would be nice . They put the 951 in the SXR's for the gp class over there . But what i meant was something 4 stroke

Na , have you ridden a 130 hp 4 stroke .....slow....heavy ....

Stay with the 800 2 stroke ..........
