Big engine, little frame
Posted: Fri Nov 28, 2014 12:31 pm
I keep hearing locals and others talking about putting a 900/1000cc engine into a frame for a 600.
I dont get the logic in this other than a smaller bikes frame might be tighter steering or lighter.
My understanding was that a bikes frame is made by the manufacturer to handle that engine and its power output.
What percentage of a bikes weight would be taken up by the engine alone?
Am I missing something here?
