Spotted this on ebay ....

ebay wrote:You are bidding to buy a used Aprilia SL 1000 Falco engine like the RSV mille engine

I bought this engine to fit in my home made off road buggy project but due to lack of time and just selling the buggy. i have no need for the engine.

Either to be used as a replacement engine for a bike or

Ideal to fit to a small buggy, go kart or any other project needing a very powerful engine

The engine is in a1 condition. and everything in the pictures is included oil tank and radiator

Am I the only one that it never occurred to that the Falco engine should find its true home bolted to the back of a go kart

..... I'm just scared to think about it ....

apparently they make excellent engines for kit cars as well

Yup, I've seen it...........I saw it at an event up at Bretton and it's a fantastic piece of kit, sounds superb and was very very quick.

It's probably the same one I saw a couple of years ago at a motorsports show. It had a sign on it to say it was powered by 2 x 170 bhp mille engines! I was, quite naturally, very intrigued to know how he got that much power from the 990 so I asked him. He said it was 'chipped' and when I said, so's mine but it's a long way short of 170bhp, he muttered about 'Having a mate who sort of put a chip on chip in it..' and then walked off. Was going to mention that if he dumped the original air boxes he had on it he'd get a healthy bhp increase but then thought 'sod him'.
Very nicely engineered car though and I imagine it was still mighty quick

Probably still had the bungs in the airbox and bodged up exhausts to fit in the tracker and the motors together wheeze out a combined 170 BHP

I hope he and his mate enjoyed their bag of chips.

Anyone fitted a go-cart motor to a Mille?
