Nor did I ever think I would want to see.

Too bad the guy has terrible taste in style. But that’s pretty fuckin wild.
Seriously ugly, seriously cool…
Interesting… No way in hell that bike weighs 360 lbs though.
Is there a transmission anywhere on that thing?
I do not get down with this.
:bloated:
lol it didnt mention it, i was just thinking of a giant chain off the flywheel but then i was like what about the gearing :bloated:
Says he is looking for funding… I would imagine he needs a ton of money for drivetrain development. It looks like a lot of work has gone into it and I hope the guy is getting something out of it, but it is not pretty at all.
Its a drivetrain development tool at best. Its aesthetically awful

It seems like its more weird for the sake of weird. You can still get a ton of power and torque out of a normal motorcycle liter+ motor. Sort of like an SHO motor in a Camaro. I guess whatever floats your boat.
ps, if you guys didn’t read, the wood is for forms which will be aluminum and fiberglass at a later date.
quad 4 engine, one of the worst engines you could have picked.
Agreed junk available in 2.3 and 2.4 liters
there’s no way its 360 pounds
im thinking a killer shimano gear setup … like a 10 speed
always thought a b18 would be kickass
that would be pretty sweet… driving a trans would be the difficult part. youd have to do a chain drive or a belt drive off the end to a separate trans similar to a harley. where to put the radiator though lol.

so pointless. lol.
i was thinking this at first, but if he could actually keep the weight down and figure out teh gearing, it would have the same power as a standard 1000 give or take 10 horse (around 180), but instead of having 70 ft pounds of torque, it would have 170, which is ballsssssss
