The coolest little thing. 4-Stroke V8, 14 inches long. There is a build chronology. Little camshaft the size of a Lincoln Log.

The guy in the video specifically said it is not supercharged.

'and produces 9 horsepower'

Still more power than a Prius.

Duh. . .clicked on this post encouraged with the thought that I wouldn’t have to try to get my 92 year old mother to drink as much V8 energy drink as I do. ;)

I am hoping someone else out there thought the drink, too.

“Despite the small displacement, the engine revs to 10,000 rpm and produces 9 horsepower.”

Wow, twice the power of the Cheby Dolt.

Wow, a tiny dry-sump oiling system. I’ll have to read through the build log, thanks for posting this. I love these tiny scale engines - I recall seeing one that was a shrunken Rolls-Royce Merlin, about a foot long.

14 in. long and 9 HP. So what’s the application? Lawn mowers? New engines for the Autopia at Disneyland?

Putting a little nitro in for fuel would be a hoot

Some of the work that model makers do is amazing,saw

a Ferrari car with a working v-12 on Utube that even

sounded correct.

Thousands of hours of work involved I imagine

I’m not that impressed. My Honda SL 100 had more horses in 1970.

She’s real fine my 609

My 609

Well I saved my pennies and I saved my dimes

For I knew there would be a time
(Giddy up giddy up 609)
When I would buy a brand new 609
(609, 609)
Giddy up giddy up giddy up 609
(Giddy up giddy up 609)
Giddy up 609
(Giddy up giddy up 609)
Giddy up 609

Giddy up 60...

Nothing can catch her
Nothing can touch my 609
609 ooooo
(Giddy up giddy up oooo)
(Giddy up giddy up oooo)
(Giddy up giddy up oooo)
(Giddy up giddy up)

When I take her to the track she really shines
(Giddy up giddy up 609)
She always turns in the fastest times
(Giddy up giddy up 609)
My four speed dual quad posi-traction 609

I had a Yamaha two-cylinder two-stroke with the same displacement in 1966 that would rev to 10,000+ rpm and produce similar horsepower at peak.

Fun little bike.
