Chris Fairbrother has an idea for an all new sportbike, something very fast and easy to maintain, that doesn’t have to rev high to produce major power; hence large displacement (2300cc).
Oldsmobile, with assistance from Jim Feuling, developed an engine in 1988, the 2.3 liter, iron-block, four-valve DOHC aluminum-head Quad 4, putting out about 180 horsepower and tunable for much more. It was a popular race engine in the early 1990s and AJ Foyt had one up to 266 mph. Chris thought, hmm … sounds like a Quad 4 might do it.
