Ducati Elenore V8

[500AMM]

Hi.

I guess not many have seen this V8-consept before:

Run the demo down on the page.

For those who like mortorbikes and other creations on two wheels - pay attention to The Kneeslider.com from time to time.

Enjoy!

Thanks for posting this. I haven't been able to see the vid yet but will keep trying. I was surprised at the relatively low HP expectation (80?) for it. Do you know if it is a desmo valvetrain?

Hi Andy.

No it doesn't have the Desmo. If you open this link: http://www.wirthwein-motoren.de/index.p ... show&id=63 the following is written:
Projekt Ducati-Elenore 868cc V8
V8 Motor für Fahrwerk Ducati 900 Bj.92
Bohrung 56mm Hub 44mm 868cc
Kurbelsystem (flatplane) mit Haupt- und Nebenpleuel ( Patentveröffentlichung März 2010)
>>Video-Kurbelsystem
2 Ventile ( E 27mm 27° /A 23mm 33° ) keine Desmo sondern wie bei 125er Einnockensteuerung
Nockenwellenantrieb mit Zahnriemen zwischen den äusseren Zylindern.
It says that it has one camshaft driven by a toothed belt, and the belt system is located outside the outer cylinder. But I can't see it anywhere on the prototype, it may not be ready yet.

The Kneeslider is really a nice site, collecting a lot of interesting solutions - and strange creations too. I visit the site frequently, you never know where the good ideas are hidden. :idea:

I saw the video; thank you. The prototype looks quite well turned out and the video is very interesting. I hope this beast comes to life.

Hi Arnt,

Many thanks for posting the Ducati link. The Snaefell sidecar is awesome, just a masterpiece. It is incredible what talented people can do.
