A fresh built 1641 with the crank, rods & flywheel balanced as a unit, add mild ported heads, dual 34 carbs and decent exhaust makes for a decent pulling engine. It's not a rocket ship but it does run decent at highway speeds. That's the longblock I have built for my projects.

That's an awful lot of decent in there

I suppose it has a lot to do with driving style and whether you use it primarily for cars 'n coffee and Sunday cruises. Hence, the 3000 miles on 10 year old builds.

My motorcycle has 200 more cc than that 1600 and weighs 1000 pounds less. laugh
