From what I've seen and read they made the ftr1200 motor rev higher and it has some pretty short-skirted pistons suggesting more of a square bore compared to a hardly ableson. Haven't looked up bore and stroke numbers yet, so I could be wrong. 4.0" x2.9" so pretty much oversquare. Peak torque at 6KRPM so 125hp must happen quite a bit higher up.

Could be a fun motor. Or any of the KTM 9x0/1x90 motors. Had a '12 990 SMT and it was high-revving over-square v-twin. Not much low-end torque and pretty vibey/snatchy under 3500 RPM, but came alive at 4K and pulled like a freight train to redline. Peak torque at 6500 RPM and peak HP at 8500 RPM. Great bike for being a hooligan! Edited October 8, 2018 by Bubba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
