This may be silly but how long will it be before the Honda Gold wing engine is big enough and powerful enough to be an option? The 2004 Gold wing ABS specs re below. It's not 230 HP like the suby but respectable for 1800 cc. What are the HP and Torque specs on the VW 1.9L and 2.1L?

Displacement: 1832.00 ccm (111.79 cubic inches) Engine type: Six cylinder boxer Stroke: 4 Power: 118.00 HP (86.1 kW)) @ 5500 RPM Torque: 167.00 Nm (17.0 kgf-m or 123.2 ft.lbs) @ 4000 RPM Compression: 9.8:1 Bore x stroke: 74.0 x 71.0 mm (2.9 x 2.8 inches) Fuel system: Injection Valves per cylinder: 2 Fuel control: SOHC Cooling system: Liquid Gearbox: 5-speed On Saturday, July 24, 2004, at 01:02 PM, Automatic digest processor wrote:
