    Name of a bike?

    Trying (and failing) to remember the name of a bike I saw on the discovery channel a while back.
    It was a doco about a new bike/racing team trying to break through onto the moto gp scene.

    All I remember about the bike was that it's engine had two counter rotating cranks i believe mounted longitudinally so it didn't need any counter balance.

    Atleast that's what I remember about it, it also was very narrow because of this engine design and had other nifty design implementations, oh and it had a very strange name, the inventors surname i believe but can't for the life of me remember.

    I know this makes little sense, but any help is appreciated.

    Was it the Buckley Systems BSL 500?

    It was powered by a 500cc V3 two-stroke and raced a couple of times in the MotoGP. But BSL could never get it to run properly and Bill Buckley killed the project.

    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    Based on the Discovery Channel documentary, 'Moto Siss'.

    You can make the initial sibilant a bit zeddy if you want to sound like you know what you're talking about.
