BMW K or R series
ok, this might be a highlight (for some of you) , im getting interested in bike engines , but only the BMW engine since i see that it has a seperate
gearbox , i noticed the r series boxer looks to be able to connect to other gearboxes , but does the later K series 4 cylinder have the same
capability .
and before you say , use the bike gearbox , it might not be that easy , im looking for a small capacity engine that can be swapped directly for
another .

You can buy the gearbox separate from the engine and the engine is a joint venture between BMW and Peugeot and is based on car technology so you could
be on a runner.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

providing the gearbox you are going to mate it too can handle the rpm without spitting the dummy.
You couldn't pwn your way out of a wet paper bag, with "PWN ME!!" written on it, from the "pwned take-away" which originally contained one
portion of chicken tikka pwnsala and the obligatory free pwnpadom.

Guzzis use a separate gearbox and shaft drive as well and the clutch in them is very car like, have a look in google images. My mate has one and the
clutch looks like a metro/mini unit.
