Zero - u really should have been at the last Surrey meet

I'm sure Drac would have taken you out in the Westie and it could either have wetted your appetite or satiated your hunger.

These kind of decisions really need to be savoured with suitable knowledge of the product.

But it has to use *two* engines.

These cars can cost a lot of money. You can get a good 1ltr bike for <

Your point is?? Not everyone wants a bike...
FWIW, it's possible to build a BEC for the same price as a new superbike (albeit not a westy).

Restriction is very different to gearing, and anyway, theres a HUGE difference between 186mph and 120mph

If you don't get the twin thing, you never will - it's pointless trying to explain it to you.
