Beautiful bikes. One is prepared the other restored in the original spirit. I will have some questions to ask you about it tomorrow.

About the first MODEL ( Minarelli), the German version, have you got the "big" cylinder?
The exhaust is not original, have you seen on the site that we have made with the club a proposition of re-manufactoring of the original APRILIA COMPETITION exhaust ( i have the model)?

Yes there is the big cylindre fixed.
No i haven´t seen about the exhaust. The one we use is of an 85cc motocross bike because with this one you get much more power then wi the normal competition exhaust.
At my HRD we have done the same, 85cc motocross exhaust and big cylindre

The difference between the both exhausts is important?

rx80-heiza · Message par **rx80-heiza** » 12 mai 2009 11:37

Yes it is, the competition exhaust hasn´t got as a big volume then the 85cc and it is much longer on the gack side then the 85 that are 2 reasons why you can get more power with the 85cc exhaust at all rpm´s

I would like to know how does it work conpared to the Minarelli engine, is it a 75 cc or a 80 cc , what is your opinion about it?
Thank you Patrick.

Nothing outstanding, actually.
They are made by Eurocilindro (AKA Athena).
Here is one like mine. 4 ports, bigger intake and exhaust but nothing else.
They claim an awsome power but I still wonder...
A bit like Polini. There's a lot of gossip about them but a 6007 is just not as powerful as the good old Gilardoni, in my view.
Wait and see.

Thierry im in his opinion he´s talking about 24 or 29 hp but i think th mixed cooled gilardoni MC cylindre has got more power then the faccioli. Both are working good but the Gilardoni is better.

Then i keep my Gilardoni!! Interesting. It's a good aftermarket solution indeed. :/

For sure it´s an option if you don´t have an original that was the reason why we took the faccioli but if there would be a chance to get a gilardoni mixed cooled or watercooled i would take this one
