Hello,
Preface: I am designing an aircraft of 260lbs, single seat, and intend to use a MC engine. I figured the best place to get qualified info was this MC forum, as 'knowing a CBR300 is 350 lbs' is great, but fails to answer weights.
I am trying to get an engine to fit the following parameters:
Must accept the chain pulling upwards from the sprocket, so a clear path from the sprocket
Shall be of the lowest weight possible
Shall be fuel injected
Shall have between 24 and 40 HP
Shall be better in torque than in high RPM use
Shall not fall apart if operated at 75% throttle for long periods
For now I think that a Honda CRF250L, Ninja 300, or KTM 200 (not in USA?) would be contenders.
I appreciate any experienced members offering exact weights of engines (even non contenders for reference), and insight into which bikes may be good organ donors for this.
Thanks!
