What Does a Motorcycle and Mx-3 Have In Common...

Apparently this:
This was in the latest Super Streetbike. At the Paris Tuning Show, Ludovic Lazareth showed a 1.8 in a bike. There wasn't any good info on it, the mag just listed the engine as "..a 1800cc V6 engine from a Mazda Mx3 automobile". I thought it was pretty damned cool though. I like the mono tube fork too.

Cool!
Good Find!
I am sure some of the v-6 guys would love to know more about the intake set-up on that thing...
Very neat!

I wonder how the charging system works... no alternator.

They could have probably gotten better power from one of those small 4V motorcycle engines...

Slow, running out of funds. Didn't appreciate getting a bill from FedEx for $151.00 for brokerage and Duty/tax fees. Long live USPS/CanadaPost and $5.00 brokerage fees and and zero duty/tax (when it's a gift of course 
).
