You can't have both, unless you do like the americans and take an ancient engine design and just add displacement. But what Honda did (and does) with their engines is unparalelled by any car or bike manufacturer. In Citroen engines, the 2CV unit is probably one of the best. But generally, citroens are underpowered and engine design is not very advanced. A flat aircooled twin was used many times before citroen used it and underlying camshaft was not very high tech, even in the 30s. _________________ Don't ask me what I think of you 'cause I might not give the answer that you want me to. www.kustombart.com Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         SNAIL Forum Index -> General chat All times are GMT + 2 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum SNAIL forum----------------General chatMeetingTechnicYour ride Sell/Buy----------------For SaleWanted  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © phpBB Group.
