Yes the Ambo is 757cc, if we wanted to go 750cc, all it takes is a set of V7 Sport jugs and pistons and run with the Ambo crank, instant 750cc none to many and none too few, I have it all setting in my garage now, ready to assemble, even down to the Convert rear. A lopframe holding a land speed record? just think!!

Hi Ian, The "world record bike" is in Greg's book on pages 39 & 42. In Columbo's book with fairing and without. Lots of standard looking pieces other than
bodywork.
You're right about the displacement, we'd have to decrease either the
stroke or
bore. Maybe V7Sport pistons? I haven't really looked into it that much.
See ya',

Charlie,
You are not crazy my friend. Just so happens that the Loopframe Guru
himself
was running that exact same idea just last summer. He had all the parts ready to go. Just lacked time, and the right timing to unload all those dotcom shares he had :-)
To be a true 750 class we would have to go with another engine since the Ambo engine is 757cc I think. Isn't the V7 Sport engine under 750cc?
By the way...do you have a pic of the "world record" bike? Is it in Field's book?
Regards...Ian

Hi Ian, I think it's a Loopframe (or maybe I just want it to be). I was
thinking of
doing a replica of Guzzi's "world record" bike of '69/'70, but that idea
would
involve lots of cash. Instead I'll probably use more stock bodywork, some
sort
of "bumstop" seat and lighten the rest by leaving parts off without losing
the
character of an Ambo. Love my old '69 Ambo but want something a bit more sporting until I can afford the Laverda of my dreams. Here's a question for my fellow Loopframers: why not a Loopframe Land
Speed
Record bike? We could do some damage in the 750cc class! Handling or
brakes
don't matter as much in this venue, an Ambo engine with the right work
could
produce as much power as a V7 Sport engine. Whatcha' think? Probably almost as crazy as my diesel Ambo idea! :) Night y'all,
Charlie

Hey Charlie,
When I saw the pic it looked like a V7 Sport. That's a Tonti frame
right?
:-)
What are your plans for the LoopSport? Sounds like an interesting
project.
What is your plan?
Did you see the Convert Sport a guy did in one of the back issues of the newsletter? If you can make a Convert look good you sure can make a Loop look good :-)

Hi Mike, Is the drawing for the t-shirt an actual bike? Like the cafe loop look,
kind of
what I got in mind for Ambo #3. Is this a Motojeffro creation? Just
wondering...
