Hmm, you only need about 35 hp to nudge a ton, how fast do you want to go ?
and how fast can you go and keep your licence?

Has more power than my 1985 BMW R80RT

The price tag is the problem. €17500/$24000/£15000+. You can have a new Tenere and enough fuel for about 100,000 miles!

That engine would make just the right power upgrade for my Ural, and go someway to curing the abyssmal fuel economy.

Shame the torque would pulverise my shaft drive...

My elefant makes 60bhp, I rarely use all of it... and look at the torque figures for that thing. You could tow a boat.
