not very smart algebra dude. asked:


I am asking because I’m doing a school project/contest. This project will involve a complete industrial process of designing and producing a motorcycle. I will base/pull parts off a CBR600RR and I think I can create a greater effect if i say that it is green.

Additionally, I’m left with the problem of designing the frame of the bike. I do not wish to use a factory frame because that will take away from the design portion of the project. How do I design a frame for an engine that I do not yet have? Anyone know basic dimensions of a CBR600RR engine? As of right now, I plan on using aluminum 6061 reinforced with carbon fiber. Any ideas? And anyone know where to get aluminum 6061?

If anyone has any program that will help me in this process, it will be greatly appreciated. So far, I have programs to calculate engine balance, steering geometry, etc. For the design portion I will be using AutoCAD/Inverter.

Lastly, please no negative comments on how impractical/dangerous/expensive this will be. I realize the complexity and danger of this project. Positive, constructive, instructive comments will be greatly appreciated.

Create a video blog…instantly.
