I'd heard of them, but, no - I've never seen one (not even a pic) before.:wacko:

Thats right, its one of Millyards creations here in the UK. I was at a show last year and the V8 and the V12 was there. They had the V8 running and it sounded sweet :niceone:

Chap started by making a V-twin moped then just kept creating more.

I read a couple of write ups on that one and the other creations in a magazine. A very clever engineer that chap. (plenty of spare time and money obviously) but clever nonetheless

Very impressive:2thumbsup

Must be leaking oil as he has a piece of cardboard under it. Kick start as well. Always wondered about keeping them cool especially the bigger ones he made. Hard to get rid of the heat buildup

yep,seen the writeup a while back,it also said for the right money he'd do customer bikes as well,there's also a guy doing a 4 cylinder RDLC in the Uk as well,there's some quite clever people out there.

Here's one you won't have seen. It was unvailed at this years Aircooled-RD rally. It is an in line 4 cylinder RD500. :gob:

Made from two 1980's RD250 engines welded together. we have had 130mph :Police: on the clock and all created by home mechanics.

The owner styled it to look like a Kenny Roberts racer from the 70's

Its first showing outside the UK

If he was going through the effort, surely two RD350 engines would have been better! The evil twin of an old Roberts flat-tracker......
Then again, that's probably why he didn't use two RD350 engines.....

There was a Kiwi (well actually the Maconachie (sp) brothers) who built a dragster powered by two Zephyr - as in Mark 3 Zephyr - engines sump-to-sump, laid them on their side and made a flat 12 cylinder engine, looked the part and went but was never fully developed.
