So I am contemplating building a big motor for my bike. Let me preface this by saying I build cars, and engines for a living.. That being said, I know how different bikes are after messing with mine for a little bit here..
My question is this, what I am thinking is. I want to build a big motor, that makes gobs of torque but isn't super aggressive where I can't ride it daily. I build a lot of 540" big block chevy street engines with this same thought process, mild cams, mild compression but lots of cubes..
Am I crazy to think a 1500cc motor with intake cam's or something a little more stout would be reliable enough on the street, and to still go to the track and blast off a nice easy low 9 or maybe even high 8 second run?
