Has any one looked at the OHC headed motor for potential?

Motor was released 20 Apr 2005. Its rated at 15hp. Uses electronic speed control.

I investigated them about eight years ago. The trick even all these years later is simply finding one in the U.S. market. MSRP is about $1,700 with actual prices in the $1,500 range. Harbor Freight is supposedly going to offer a 670cc v-twin Predator for less than half of that, so I don't foresee a lot of demand for the Honda.

Plus most if not nearly all have tapered shafts, motor was designed for generator use.

i have a GC160 OHC, pulled the crank and had it machined to 3/4". cost me all of $40 and a tube of gray sealant. Im about to do it again, found brand new GC190's for $140.

yeah no aftermarket support for those engines.

Looks like a grand, new, in several places.

I was asking about performance potential, only.
