From the article: Technically it’s not a motorcycle but a quad. The wheels up front and in the rear work in tandem, similar to the V10 powered Dodge Tomahawk concept from a few years ago. The chassis is designed to help lean into the corners to ease the weight-transfer on rapid s-curves. Seems like a perfect replacement for the “Batpod, “we’d die (literally) to have a go.

That's a crap bike with an auto engine. THIS is a proper V8 bike! Not a bloated hog. http://pgmv8.com.au/

That PGM is awesome... The oversize locomotive, not so much

PGM looks nice, but would'n 334 hp be nearing overkill? When you get used to the power and learn to use it, it seems that you would would not "park" that bike so much as "land" it!

yeah I think so, about the 334HP, but overkill is its selling point I'd reckon. I did very well with the hundred we squeezed out of my XB9

I've heard it said that 300hp is the most any motorcycle can realistically make use of

That fan isn't for cooling, it pulls you faster down the road

I think my dad told me that those old flathead Ford V8 were only good for 60hp in stock trim. He said that wasn't so much tuning ceiling either due to the three bearing mains.

How many horsepower do you need in something that weighs a fair amount less than a Model A?It is after all a cruiser. (Message edited by buellish on March 08, 2016)

Saw a flat head bike at the Davenport, IA antique swap meet a couple years ago. It had the radiator in/covered by the leather saddle bags. It was clean looking and boy did it sound good.

You can't beat the sound of a flathead!
