Why not look at a Harley Davidson 1340 or 1500 cc bike motor.I believe that torque is more important than Horsepower and while there engines are around 85 hp unstressed they are very well made,I am not up to date with the latest Harley motors/gearboxes,do any of them have a reverse?,not as silly as it sounds as the big Harleys are around 300/350 kg and must be a problem at times to manouver when stopping.Maybe they make them bigger than 1500,or perhaps the bigger Honda cruisers,they would present some cooling problems but would be light weight,which is the way to go,not excessive horsepower .David
