Some of you will have seen this already, it's a creation of bike builder Roger Goldammer

"The NORTORIOUS, at first look, brings to mind the classic lines of the very significant Norton Manx Café Racer but that's where the similarities end. The engine is a 2006 H-D hybrid single cylinder Roger built from the ground up. The 965CC engine features a lower end consisting of Merch cases rotated back 15degrees and balanced internals. The heads are custom from Engenuity and the pistons from Ross and Jims lifters were utilized. The cam is custom designed and manufactured by Roger. The rear head is used on the front cylinder, allowing the induction system to be positioned above the head and cylinder with the angle cut back 15-degrees . The pushrod tubes are also angled to accommodate this change . In place of the rear cylinder, a Rotrex Supercharger that spins at 120,000 RPM was installed. The half a v twin produces 83 rear wheel horse power at 6400 rpm."

Clever yes, but beauty is clearly in the eye of the beholder............

Mmmmm evokes a Manx - nope one is a thing of beauty, even a ratty one, the other is a OK idea made by a Yank.
Have seen other pics in which it looks good but in these it looks out of proportion
