Nice article the question that always came to mind was when Kawasaki made the quad (4) free air engine for Arctic cat do you think they would of gone liquid cooled top end and if so how much hp would've that had.

 Good question, sprocket. I thoroughly enjoy this video of the free air King Cat with the Kawi 796 cc 4 banger....
Wait a few seconds after the start until they get in the back straight....wait for it.....LOL
