Truly scarey, especially with the standard drum front brake.

Nearly twice as many places to leak oil too.

A$22,000 for the complete bike - that is about £4 3s 6d

Nice looking thing and a load cheaper than I thought it would be.  Spoke to them a couple of years back about theengine and I got the impression of many thousands for the engine alone.

You bastard Marshall, I am sitting in the library (in a theological college) and I hear this sound from the headphones...so I pop them on and bam - the sound of that motor. I am not lying when I say I just closed my eyes and sat back and let it carry me away. Beautiful!!!

Thanks Mate

A US variant of the same idea 90° this time (I think)

Edited to relieve freestyle spelling

And later to make it clearer that Crobba crobba is a link....

There is another vid of this engine running on the bench too.

Look at that and imagine ripping off all the plastic bits from the VX and replacing them with a steel.

Hmmm, next project me thinks.

I saw these two a few years back at the Berkshire Triumph Owner's Club show:

In the foreground is a 100cc 90deg V-twin based on an SS50, at the back is a 1500cc V8 based on a Z750.
