My first impression is the bhp figures are quite optimistic. AFAIK, the highest bhp 2014 production V-twin is the KTM 1190 RC8 @173 bhp, with near as makes no difference the same displacement. 200 is rather fanciful, even for the 4-cylinder, 16-valve crowd, so I rather rather doubt they can approach it in a twin without either 16 valves (8/cylinder, a la the Honda NR500) or forced induction. And aren't the EU still imposing a 180-bhp ceiling?
What really strikes me odd is this seems to be on offer, not from Lotus Cars, but from Lotus LMP2 LeMans racing team, Kodewa GmbH & Co. That is, if
ownership of the web site is to be believed. Proton seem to be Balkanizing the ACBC trademark.
Looks like a modern take on the greatest sports bike of all time.
A mate of mine built one of these out the arse. I took it out for a spin once and the only thing I ever have gone faster in on land was the TGV. It was too wheelie-happy so he'd added two teeth to the countershaft sprocket, and the stock 160-mph speedometer could not contain it. I got it up to very nearly a tachometer-indicated 180 mph. Which is commonplace among modern sport bikes these days, even middleweights, but back then was utterly outrageous. Shortly after, he added NOS to it and I never mustered the courage to throw leg over it again.
Another mate took one look at it and termed it "the elephant bike," which I thought apropos, especially since he wasn't a motorbike chap.
