What a monster.



from the article:
The unbelievable creation was seen and heard recently at an event called Caffeine and Octane, which takes place once a month in Alpharetta, Georgia. I don’t even know how best to describe it: a motorcycle powered by a Lamborghini V12 or a Lamborghini V12 with two wheels attached to it?

Too bad. That would have made a cool trike.

Tadpole or arrow?
(2 wheels front or back? )

Awesome idea. Too bad it was horribly executed.

A classic example of the question, "Just because you CAN do something, does it mean you SHOULD?"

I applaud his mechanical prowess. He has done what most would have considered impossible.

Unfortunately, he's taken an engine from an exotic sports car and grafted it to a conveyance traditionally noted for being agile and nimble.

The final product is neither "sporting" nor is it "agile and nimble".

It's like a bench motor strapped to a dolly with wheels.

I'm with Fatty.

A much more proper and useful setup would be to just drop it in one's favorite sports car/sleeper, along with a great sounding exhaust, and there ya go.

What he's done takes the "Boss Hoss" idiocy to another useless level.

I bet it lives on a trailer, never really being ridden.

A trike would have at least been functional.

If he COULD ride this mess, he'd never be able to pull even a fraction of the performance of this motor out of it.

Just a waste of a good motor.

It reminds me of the Bike I saw in Sturgis years ago. A guy took an old flathead Lincoln Zephyr V12 and put it in a bike frame. He had big leather saddle bags that had louvers in them to direct air to two huge radiators inside. It sounded awesome and after the bike show he fired it up and rode off! No trailer queen!
