I don't thnk ENYA still makes the V-twin, but they do come up for sale on *bay sometimes. I have been watching them go for years and they just keep getting more expensive. I have NEVER seen one go cheaply. New one's $600-$800, used are not much less.

Oh well..............

I have always wanted one of the Enya VT-240 engines, but finally gave up and settled for an OS FT-300.

Since the Enya pistons/rods are not sharing a common crankpin, there's no way it can truly sound like a Harley-Davidson "putt-putt - pause - putt-putt, etc." With that in mind, the OS FT-300 sounds very much like the Enya VT-240. Plus it was a couple of hundred cheaper on the used market.

Did I mention that I still wanted the Enya VT-240? Logic be danged. <G>

Haha... I found and commented on the YouTube video 2 months before you started this thread. That's how much of an Enya nerd I am...

If you need a 4 stroke V-twin ... you can still get 'em ..

LASER make a range of V-twins ... including a 240.

For those in the know, the LASER's and ENYA V-twin's sound like Moto-Guzzi's

A little OT, but I can say the latest Guzzi's have come a loooong way quality wise since Aprilia took them on ...

And they sound righteous! Here's a LASER 200 V-Twin ...

Nice videos. Thanks.

Why is it idling so fast? Still in the break-in period?

My OS 300 never sounded like that. The Enya has two distinct firing events, where the OS 300 fires at the same time. The OS sounds good, but not like the Enya, esp the first video from Norway. All three of my opposed twins(OS 300, 160, and Kavan 50) sounded more like a cross between a Lycoming and a VW engine than a Harley-Motoguzzi V-twin.

Hey Ed,

The 240 shakes like a Harley and like the Laser I think it's a single throw crank. I never had any of my three apart.
