How about a 6 cylinder, 500cc, 2 stroke?

Lots of clues pointing to it being based on the NSR.

I wonder if "road legal" means this bike can pass environmental regulations like Euro3.

Not long to go now .should be interesting

The arse and pipes look like they came straight off an RS250.

In order to be TUV and Euro3 certified it'll undoubtedly be the of the strangled, gutless FI 2-smoke like the new(ish) RS125, which is absolute shit.

What does remain to be seen, however, is what the engine will do when all that planet-saving rubbish is torn out and someone throws a custom map ECU and kitten-murdering throttle bodies at it.

160hp at 11500rpm from a 500 2t, I have never wanted a bike as much as this one

Agree with Timmeh though, to get a Euro3 pass, it's going to need a catalyst in each expansion chamber, which does bugger up how they work somewhat, and it will probably have an air injection port into the exhaust too.

I would expect it to ride as well as 4x Aprilia RS125 engines that were the later crap spluttery ones making 20-21bhp on a dyno with a tiny powerband.

Set up properly and tuned with no emission constraints then the Ronax could be a 120-130bhp motorbike, but that would be the limit IMO for a road going 500cc engine, unless your into re-builds in hours not mileage like race and MX engines.

Most RG and RD500's that top 110bhp, are big bore 550-570cc conversions, and the most powerful one was 146bhp r/w, so the Ronax wont come close to that IMO unless it's a track bike with lights?

Want so badly.must sell house

[Timmeh]

hmm, can't quite afford 100k tbh.

If you were determined to have a 4-cyl stroker, you could build yourself a YZR or RGV 500 for about 10-15k, which would have 120bhp without even breaking a sweat.

Personally I'd have the YZR, because the RLD500 V4 will drop straight into the TZR250 3MA frame. Sort yourself some fancy front suspension and 6-pots and you've got yourself a trackday monster.
