Not my style, but somebody put a TON of thought into that bike

i've seen that before but glad you posted. that is about the wildest bike i've seen.

motor anyone?

Flying J · « **Reply #1278 on:** March 26, 2009, 07:18:20 PM »

Looks lik an inline 4 to me

masonryman · « **Reply #1279 on:** March 26, 2009, 07:24:23 PM »

Iron duke, GM inline four, somthing like 151 ci?

If I was guessing I'd say a mercruiser boat set up

I was thinking Iron Duke too but it's been years since I've seen one.

I looks like it would have the turning radius of a small planet!

I like the bike but I think I am to performance oriented to really get into something like that. But it would be a great living room bike.

you people, clearly, have missed the point. this thing scares the corners straight.

That's a pretty trick piece of engineering Bill. I wonder why though. Any benefit to doing that to the front end, or is it an exercise of design, fabrication, and engineering skills (nothing wrong with that btw)?

coyotecowboy · « **Reply #1287 on:** March 27, 2009, 10:50:29 AM »

It MIGHT be rideable, but there's waaaay too many heim ends in that steering linkage for my tastes. Just too many places to have play

If it had a sidehack on it though........

or just plain lock up while mid steer!

dunno, i'm no engineer. but it looks like it's mounted solid where it needs to be. here's another. i'd lop off a finger for this one.

someone elses... not my finger.

uses centrifugal force to make the bike think you are trying to turn the wheel. all kinds of simple yet crazy physics play into that bike.

Supposed to handle like a drrrreeeeaaaaaammmmmmm!!!!

I've seen that front end design on some concept street bikes.
I like how they kept all the components vintage looking.

~~now that's just a flagrant use of server space.~~

ok, maybe just 30.99kb or something. somehow it's still just wrong.

I like this. Started as one of those GB500's.
