You know there are kits to do the reverse, put four banger VW engines into BMW R bikes. There's even a Yahoo group for them. But I believe you're the first I've heard thinking about the opposite.
I have several bikes with those engines and I don't think you'd be happy with them in a car that weighs four times as much as the bike did. The only way you're supposed to leave one of those idling for any amount of time, when balancing the throttle bodies for example, is with a big fan in front of the bike for engine cooling air circulation. There have supposedly been bikes burst into flame when the owner left a bike idling in the garage while he was distracted in the house. Let me repeat: Burst into Flames. Not good in a car, no. |
