That was a nice touch, leaving the rear vision mirror on.If some "cage" tried to overtake them they would see it comming. Those boys thought of everything.......

I imagine it won't take long for it to overheat!

it would have been nice to use a drive shaft bike and sit on the bike. a direction system conect to the fork to steer would be nice.
( maybe just a Locost version of SeeDoo boats...)

Any SOHC's airborne yet?

On www.cbfourclub.nl/Documentatie/Documentatie.htm you'll find an interesting story about a man who turned  two CB350Four engines  into a 700cc V8. For more smoothness.

I feel sorry for the bike!  Couple of yahoos chopping it and frankensteining it to a beat up boat. They even used a piss poor prop on the thing! Imagine the indignities that bike has suffered!

[toycollector10]

Yes, the word indignity sums it up perfectly. It's just not right to do that to any motorcycle!

I read an article last week of a guy who makes V8s out of old bikes and one of them was a KZ1300x2. Looked pretty big and scary.

Speaking ov V8's...

I met a man in denver(longtime pal of My boss at the time) that took two '26? '27'? inline 4 henderson motors, and made a V-8 out of, It had a aircraft generator for a charging system, drip carbs, no aircleaners.
It even had a vintage sidecar. The old guy said he had to have it, being in his late 70's his ballance wasn't the same anymore.

Twas a sight to see, looked nice, and stock if you didn't know he modified it like that.

Well, there is a SOHC bike engine airborne but its not a Honda. Still interesting though....

wow to spent that much time bulding that piece of crap to go that slow!!!  What a waste of time

[chung]

SLOW???>?>? Did you see the steering? They were scared #$%*less to go above an idle

And what about that seating positin for the throttleman

I'll bet you a hundred that they built that boat because they didn't have the papers for the bike

[mic-57]

How does it get registered???  Boatercycle???

Yup.  Slowest SOHC/4 ever, despite something that even sandcasts don't have: rower-boost.

Actually that would be a v12 as the KZ 1300 was a six cyl watercooled mill.

Sorry you are right. Some other KZs he built were V8s but the "KZ2600" is a V12 which makes it even more difficult to believe.

that's sick...
