It is a DOHC Belt drive 4 stroke by Conley. $750. They have not made them in years, Conley said. This was at the Toledo Show.

Interesting!
I wonder what it's practical RPM's are, weight, HP, reliability, etc.
For $750 it had better be a powerhouse AND light!

Conley-Abitar same same . Don`t waste your money & that one is way over priced if you expect to use it. Collector maybe ?
Looks like E-bay price & you know how that is !

And don't forget K&B. Gary Conley and K&B worked on this in the mid '80s but K&B pulled the plug and sort of left Gary hanging. Gary tried marketing them but they never caught on. He eventually sold the rights to a company in Minnesota that renamed the engine Abitar. They couldn't give the things away, which is rather ironic because they've become rather collectable. Don't know if it's worth $750 though.

He said a collector was going to pick it up during the show.

Looks very similar to the old webra 120 4 stroke.

SOHC but cool nonetheless..

I have a NIB/never run Abitar 120 for sale with spares (first one was lost to a mid air collision). The first one ran great and had a really neat sound.

Make me a reasonable offer.
