PM for details in the interim. Located outside Chicago

 

Sick!

 

Is this the old hordpower bike?
So cool!

 

no this was a one-off built by Dave Lamerrill and Markbilt racing (engine).

I acquired it on here in 2020. I may just repost the original ad as I haven’t changed anything save for fabricating a reinforced rear shock mount.

 

Copied from the original ad-

“Motor (2009 R6 donor lump) built by Mark at MarkBilt Racing in 2016, chassis and bodywork are a one off custom built around the engine by Dave LaMerrill (all aluminum and carbon, seat is a self supporting carbon unit). Bike was completed in 2017. Has only been raced a handful of times. Bike gets mistaken for a Moto2 prototype every time it's at the track. Engine was rebuilt/refreshed by JD Hord in 2018 and has seen less than 4 hours use since then. YEC harness mated to the 2009 R6 cases. Front end is also R6 with Iron rotors (Brake Tech) and all Brembo calipers, master cylinder. Forged Marchi rims (mag) front and back. Bike weighs 335 lbs semi wet (all fluids and half a gallon of gas). Bike runs on 98 octane unleaded. Full TI (Arrow) headers with a RaceFit can. Clutchless up shifts, auto blip for downshifts. This bike is as pure and trick a racebike as you will see. 116 hp at the wheel. Suspension (racetech springs, JRI shock) setup for a 165 lb rider, dialed in at the track. Samco hoses. Geometry is retained from the 2009 R6 (swingarm slope, rake, trail, wheelbase) Comes with some sprockets and a spare set of OEM R6 rims mounted with rains”

 

Hord refreshed it in 2018…sounds like i was mistaken!

 

Its straight up a moto2 bike in a parallel universe where prototype chassis and production 600 engines were allowed instead of one make engine series! so freaking rad

 

price?

 

Oh my!

 

Listed at $12.5 on the interwebs; $12k for forum OBO.

 

Not sure, but the one I was thinking of didn't have a lamerril frame/swingarm.

Too cool.

 

More pics. Can send hi res versions directly.

 

Someone buy and race this thing!

 

Super neat bike. Are consumable spares available from someone (fairings etc)?

 

Not sure on additional consumables as the bodywork was custom…but looks durable
(thankfully never tested).

 

Please forgive my ignorance, but why was it reduced from 600 to 564cc, and was it achieved by de-stroking?

 

yes it was and there is a 565cc liquid cooled inline 4 cyl cap in f2

 

Ahh gotcha, it was built to a class. Is it legal for any other classes?

 

I’m sure it can race “up” but without a vin I think it is limited.

my idea was to run this and another bike in two different classes but, you know, kids etc.

It was a heckuva fun trackday toy regardless

 

I didn’t realize that VIN’s aren’t required in F2.

It’s an awesome machine, and that CF bodywork!!
