Default BME 55 Extreme status??

So, anyone talked to Keith recently??
I checked back in Feb and he told me to look for it in the fall. (yes 2004!, I did ask to be put on the waiting list last year but I'm not sure if he still has it or not.)
I have a BME 50 and a DA 50, both run great, though the DA is noticebly stronger.
I really like the idea of 10% more displacement with no weight penalty.
Anyone got any info??
What happened to the Kris^ fellow??

I contacted him about 3 weeks ago. He did confirm that the 55xtreme is a real thing, however, he would not commit to a time frame. I told him that I wouldn't need an engine till march or april of next year and he wouldn't commit. Sounded to me like there wont be any 55s under the tree this year :-(

I think the 110 took more out of him than he expected. He's only a small operation, so it's not like there are a bunch of people building engines there. If you look at the website, the 55 is not listed any more, so I would have to say that it's going to be a while, if ever. I am a devoted BME fan, and my 110 is an incredible engine, but it's too bad the cat was let out of the bag so soon.

I am also awaiting the BME 55 and will wait as long as it takes.

I think Kris^ is no longer a member of RCU.
