Anyone know any more about the headlight?  All I could find on their website is that it has a 7 lens Xenon projector but I couldn't find anything like it with Google.

Sorry for the late reply, looks like a Q45 retrofit

I think it's been shown before, very cool.
I wish this guy knew how to ride, he accelerates like my mother.
with the amount of power that motor makes, I think it could do with a change in final drive ratio

That looks like old Jag heads.... but the cylinders are air cooled.

Could be an airplane engine. Lots of that going on in Europe.

That was a mock-up made for an ad that appeared in Brit bike magazines of the 1970s. I believe it was for a tire company, Dunlop I think.

The copy was that if you soup up your bike - don't overlook the tyres - Buy Dunlop   

Something like that anyway.

One of them bikes, even if it had mid controls, the only way the rider could ever stay on the seat is with glue....  ::)   ::)

 IMO that honda dohc would look way better if the rear fender was longer..
