    If you thought 1 litre was a fairly big bike...

    ....take a look at this 8 litre jobbie!

    Just found this photo in the International Express newspaper! I recognise the guy's name. Same guy that built the V12 Kawasaki and a V8 something else - videos on YouTube. I think he's an engineer in the nuclear industry. Nice bit of engineering for the American market

    Not one but ten in production? Not bad!


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Imagine trying to park that porker, or do a u-turn. I guess you could aid it by getting the back tyre spinning up...
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.

    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Makes one recall the caution given to Spitfire pilots when they first came on the scene...

    "Injudicious throttle usage may result in unintentional barrel-roll."
    You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.
    Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!

    "Ten cylinder V10 8000cc".... NAAAH - you don't say! Never knew a V10 had 10 whole cylinders....

    Hope that wasn't done like in the photo - with no upper body protection at all, and no gloves. 8L V10 with no gear, no thanks!
    Motorcycling is like life - it's about the journey, not the destination.

    Well seeing as the '09 Viper is EPA rated at 13mpg city/22mpg highway (and everybody knows that those ratings are wildly optimistic (Highway is probably closer to the city mpg...) and looking at the size of the tank (given that it will have quite a big indent underneath to accomodate the induction system) I'm just wondering how far it would go on a tankful.....

    Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes
