Are the DOHC's significantly faster than the SOHC's?

I wonder about the weights they have listed,too. I weighed my bike on the scales we use to weigh our cars and got 470 lbs. I thought that was too light so i put it on the scales at the track and got 463 lbs.It had less gas in it.

Thanks Shinny! Well, talked about horse power depends on the money you put in, well how about money, time, and mind. Have you guy's heard or seen of this guy here in California, V12 Honda CBXhttp://www.automotto.com/entry/v12-powered-honda-cbx-is-very-much-a-monster/

I've seen alot of videos about that v12 bike.That horizontal set of cylinders look like the oil in the topend would never work right.Cool bike,though!

  Do you relize how high the oil pressue is in these bikes ,It get plenty of oil,Bikes build with these engine and trannys connected together have lots,I've just noticed that N.. Y ..I need pressure gauge.

[shinyribs]

The pressure is high,yes.But what about the oil that is supposed to drain back out of the valve cover area? Does it return to the sump like it is supposed to? Does it run over the valve springs to lube/cool them like it should. Does it cause the valve guides to lube properly,or run dry?Does the oil lay in the horizontal cylinder walls(which would really tax a set of oil rings)and does it ever splash onto the "top side" of the cylinder to give adequate lubrication? Just a few thoughts,probably over thinking something that I don't need to.

  Over thinking myself maybe to much Crown n C ,most all work off the splash of the oil throwing up th oil underside of piston,Harley have scaper platsso if you Shave N polish yo crank you have to build it up,sets less then 1/6 above.YEp to much

now, you guy's are getting tooo complicated lol but thats the fun part, figuring out how these things run!
