5L v-twin engine. Bike required!

Post by BigVeeGrin »

From a couple of aero engines I think. You have to hand it to what seems like the man cave engineer. Although some may be familiar with the bloke and it did appear last year. Got some grunt though i imagine whenever it powers a bike

Must be from an air plane. It nearly takes off when the throttle is opened up.

isnt it two x ss50 (fizzy contemporary/rival) motors grafted together hence the ss100 name.

It'd make a handy winter bike in the snow with those tires and low seat height.

Alan Millyard is a pretty special engineer, check out some the other stuff he has come up with. The Dodge Viper engined bike was pretty special as was the V12 Kawasaki.
