SIP have the catalog entry for the VMC 244, along with a new video where they do a pretty thorough review and put a prototype on the dyno.

Bolted on to an existing tuned out Rally 200 motor, it did 30HP with a SIP Road 3.0. Once the motor got a SIP Viper, it jumped to 33 HP and the redline extended out to 8,500 RPM's

He compares it to a couple other top ends, but doesn't name names for obvious reasons, and it beats whatever it was, albeit by a hair.

And at $450, it's a bargain compared to whatever the competition was (Quattrini M244?)

33bhp with a wide flat curve. Pull away, change to 4th, ride it like an automatic.

Does need the 127mm conrod, casings modified and much bigger carb. Market will be the same people as the M244. For those who want fast the MHR is still the winner by a long way.

But for a high powered touring bike, it'll be a beast. That's with a 62mm crank and VForce4 reeds, too.

I think it sells SIP's exhausts even better than it sells VMC's top ends.

I have a second P200 case waiting to be built. Looks like a good, next winter project. Let them get it on the market and tested a bit. I'm satisfied with my Pinasco 225 for basic cruising/touring and it 1/2 the hp of this.

Review from WhiteOne racing, looks good there also.
