Macgyver55 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I dont have anything in writing but I'd guess 42 to 48 based on averages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave S Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Is your quest for 70 hp limited to a price range and specific type of bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoaru99 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 70hp...that's a rather specific request.Inquiring minds want to know...why 70hp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave S Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 If you want close to 70 hp, I would maybe consider looking for a 550 Nighthawk. There was a 650 and 750 also but not 100% if or which one would have been shaft drive. I know the short time they made the 550, it was shaft driven.The motor might be heavier than what you're looking for but the V65 Magna was also shaft driven. The Sabre might be another to look at.

croixflats Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Been a long time but my 650 Nighthawk was rated at 72 HP and was shaft driven. Was a fun bike quick bike being shaft driven center of gravity was high so cornering was a bit iffy but I was young and inexperienced.I beleive the Sabers were higher HP at 90HP.I dont know but I assume the drive train of a Nighthawk is simular to a shadow where the style of frame is what differs.

Dave S Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 The 550 Nighthawk had more of an appearnace like the Shadows of that era only with an inline 4 vs. the V-Twin.Still curious what Elwood has planned for the motor after he finds one.
