Name that engine?

[V11UK]

While sorting through old pictures I came across this:

 

 

It had the title of '34' and I think it's a Rotax prototype . Put me out of my misery - what is it?

it's called va 10 and not from rotax. It was a development that was stopped at the factory Mojoli enginering had to do with it:

Yep that was it , The engine was "itroduces" at the end of the nineties before Guzzi got bought form Aprilia. It had a 75' V but the drive shaft had to ba abandoned. It would use a chin drive.

three versions were to be available for preoduction 117HP 136 and 167HP (if I can recal right on this)

Don't know, but if it's a Rotax do you think it might fit my Armstrong?

Thanks Paul . I wonder if the engine still exists in a backroom at Mandello and Piaggio have plans for it?

 

BTW I think I'll call the engine Vernon....
