Feuling Motor Company Introduces New 2.5 Liter W3 Motorcycle Engine

Feuling Motor Company Introduces New 2.5 Liter W3 Motorcycle Engine
    VENTURA, Calif., Sept. 26 After gracing more than six
magazine covers over the past several months, the radical, all-new Feuling W3
has the motorcycle world buzzing.  Described as "the biggest, meanest, baddest
production motorcycle engine in history," the Feuling W3 will debut at the
2000 Del Mar Concours d'Elegance and Motorcycle Expo, Del Mar, California on
October 7th and 8th.  Fueling W3 engines, chassis kits and custom-built
motorcycles are scheduled for delivery early in 2001.
    Building on more than 30 years of advanced engine research, design and
development, award winning designer Jim Feuling has taken the popular V-twin
to the next level -- the W3. Three air-cooled cylinders are placed 45-degrees
apart forming a perfect "W" architecture that makes awesome power, smoothes
out the firing impulses, and places the forward cylinder low in the chassis
for improved handling.  Feuling was granted a U.S. Patent for the W3 engine
design on December 14, 1999.
    Feuling's record-setting, patented performance technology is evident
throughout the W3 design from the "fast burn" 2-valve, Max Flow(TM) cylinder
heads and Hi Velocity(TM) ports, to the AR(R) (Anti-Reversion) header pipes
and low-restriction CVX(R) mufflers.  Offered in a mild state of tune with
conservative camshaft timing, the 150 cubic inch Feuling W3 puts out an
impressive 150hp at 5,000rpm and 210 lbs. ft. of torque at 3,000rpm.
    The American built Feuling W3 will be marketed as an engine/frame kit that
is compatible with many popular aftermarket components.  A robust mild-steel
frame and custom swingarm are built to aerospace standards and designed to
accept the much needed, massive 200 series rear tire and drive belt.  The
Feuling W3 "kit" will include the engine, ignition system, frame, swingarm and
accessory package for $19,500.  Feuling Motor Company is currently taking
orders with engine deliveries beginning in January 2001.
