Those heads are something special Padmei...

"Close up of the exhaust cam housing...shaft from the crankcase drives the exhaust cam and then another tower shaft drives the intake cam. Individual cam lobes are replaceable. There are something like 27 timing marks on this motor that all have to line up."

"A four-cam Carrera motor is probably worth $80K in running condition.

(It's not a 914 engine, it's a double overhead cam 356 Super Carrera motor. IIRC, also used in the RSK and 550K race cars.)"





I cant find any more info on the bike itself...

Google came to the rescue:



(But then again...it might not be the same bike...different handle bars, forks, headlamp etc.)

Two pages of drivel, and monkey balls.
Next they will posting pics of their favourite pipe and slippers.

They're finally starting to work out how to make a BMW into a decent bike though, add KTM suspension, a porsche motor, build yer own subframe, remove all other sundry BMW bits apart from the tank roundel & you're well on the way...

Top marks for the pic of the groovy H1 but.

Got a cool KTM you want to put up Clint? Many people mod them or customise them or do anything to made them look different from what you'd buy off the showroom floor?
We're all keen to see something cool.
Just don't put up a generic looking mx type bike & say it's cool cos it's got a KTM badge on it...

Harumph. The thread is 'wall of coolness' not 'wall of modifiediness'. Cool is not equal modified. OEM bikes can be and modified bikes can be so ppl post up cool stuff, modified or not.
