Damn that bike is huge, Would love to hear how that 6.7ltr vtwin sounds, was reading in a mag bout a guy who years ago cut 2 cylinders off a radial engine to make a 5ltr vtwin loud enough to break nearby windows.

[Bend-it]

a 5ltr vtwin loud enough to break nearby windows.

Not to mention rider's eardrums!!

You sure that's not a regular sized bike with a midget (what's the PC term?) on it? ;)

That first bike is young Sirius Black's, if ah'm not mistaken.

Anyway, attached is a pic I took of the 'largest' bike ever registered on NZ roads - based around a Ford V8.

Its pretty cool as was totally legal.

See it at the Southward motor museum.

Yep was built in the days before certification became an issue. Recently got mine on the road.

If memory serves me right the builder was John Curtin from HB. RIP.
He mounted the V8 across the frame.

There is also another guy in HB that has taken a few Rover V8 alloy engines and built very well engineered frames around them. Also putting them across the frame. He is using a Daimler fluid drive as "gear box". I had a ride on one of them many years ago. The fluid drive stops slipping at about 120k/h and then U better hold on...

How much does that twist when you rev it?

Not sure I like the idea of sliding forward under braking and getting 'tickled' by the dizzy ...

Its not to bad just have to be aware of the torque reaction
Put it this way, if you are sitting stationary and give it a big rev you need feet well planted as it might just fall over hahaha.

Nice! Classic tyres. Now that is a fat ass!!

[NordieBoy]
