MASS Motorcycle?

[sirhrmechanic]

Interesting old engine on eBay. Silly high price... but who knows. If it's pre-1900, it's a neat piece. Water cooled head.

Wondering if this was a dory or launch motor? Could also have been set up as a stationary or pump motor.

Anyone recognize?

That's a real cool little engine!!! It looks to me like it may have powered a trike or quadricycle. Don't recognize the name offhand. This popped up as well... http://forums.aaca.org/f205/f-s-1900...on-310338.html

Same seller. His e-mail address is on the eBay auction.

One could definitely build a pre-1899 out of that...

Rob:

A bit ambitious on the price... but these things are making stupid money right now. I bet he ends up private-saleing that for close to 200K...

Motor is relisted at same price, BTW.
