Update: Pipe Porn! 2 stroke race care engine pics!

There's been some activity on this post in the comments section and some folks are curious about the history of the engine. From the comments was a link to this stunner of a photo and a link to the teams website.

I would like to know more about these..  In the comments from back in Feb Joe wrote:

I think its a V6 made by Kohler originally for boats in a Lola chassis run by a team called Wtnfurst racing. I don't have a video but would love to hear what it sounds like if anyone can find a link.
Are these engines still available and has one ever been put in a bike? Would make an awesome drag racer.


Great stuff!

Wow!  A big thanks to Joe Banks for the link!

Well i found a 1970 H1R with H1RA kit on it, all original except the paint, it had been stored in pieces in an attic for 30 years! i bought if from a really nice guy with a hell of alot of racing stories... heres some pics of it as well as my s1 tracker. the H1R is as i purchased it(only assembled). it will eventually get a full restore.
