I think I'll be having a trip out to get this to see what Stan Stephens has been building now!

:shock:

I'll be looking out for the postie now !!

I thought he was going for a 750cc V6 -a 1200 would need a fuel truck following it around to re-supply every 20 miles :grin:

Cheers

What was the outcome of the last 750 he did? I think it was to go into the Costin NSR500.

On paper a V6 RD/Z/V sounds great, in the flesh is would be quite wide and heavier. An extra crank, pots and slugs heavier.

Hi Paul.
I haven't heard anything about the RD750 Stan built since the initial release of information. It was to be sent to Mick Costin to be fitted in an NSR rep. That's all I know.
The article for the V6 1200cc is going to be a series. If you copy and paste to your desktop you'll be able to zoom in and read the text. He briefly mentions the 750 at the start.

Thanks Ronnie - looks interesting.

Sounds like a 20 to $30,000 build, maybe more. Parts, labor, custom machining etc.

I am used to paying that for my 427ci V8 builds, but I guess at this level our bike engine builds can easily step into this crazy realm.

This is poking it's head up again.
I wonder if he will ever make adapters for the banshee barrels and the manifolds.
I would consider a kit for sure.
