Sorry Heffay i will have to disagree with you this time, there are too many differences in those engines to be the same bike.

Don't take it the wrong way Hef, i was just looking at that engine and there are too many differences in it to be the same engine, and that spine frame is huge so i don't think that the motor would be too critical to the rigidity of that frame. I see similarities in stance but look at all modern boy racer bikes and they all stand the same. I would think with a frame that solidly built that there would be no problem with the overall integrity of that bike.....Just my opinion...

I'm with Retro,

the concept drive chain is on the opposite side
the concept monoshock is at a significantly different angle
the concept bike does not have a radiator (looks air cooled, but who knows)
the concept bike looks carburetorated, and the intake manifold is at a significantly different angle.
a lot of other detail around the forks, handlebars,sump, valve cover way different.

I can't tell what bike the artist started with on his Photoshop, but I do not see the 919 in there.

No offense
just saying
from my point of view
in my humble opinion...

i could put a pw50 motor in my cb350f and it would still be a HEAVILY modded cb350f... heavily in the wrong direction, yes. Grin

Do i sense a new "project thread" bike coming on.....

i think you guys missed my 'completely different components' comment... TWICE!
when i look at a bike... i first look at the tank and stance... then engine.

No, I did not miss your qualifier. I am saying I do not see it as a 919 "custom".

I don't know the original posters intent, maybe it is a disguised physics question, but the motor looks like a thumper (old man for single cylinder). Only current thumpers I have seen have been dual purpose bikes.

here let me just spell it out for you...

Really, what part is sarcasm?

the part where you say I can't read, or the part where you say you don't agree?

seriously what's your point?

interesting discussion thanks!

I think it is a Buel single, like a blast.

I agree. That was my first thought, too.

Sporkfly · « **Reply #9 on:** May 29, 2009, 08:48:05 AM »

Any chance it's not a photochop?

Here's a Confederate for comparison:

Sporkfly · « **Reply #10 on:** May 29, 2009, 11:44:16 AM »

It's too bad that confederate as a v-twin in it, I'd go for a thumper in that frame any day

it can't be a blast...
it's got a chain
and cooling fins
and and the exhaust exits out the side
and and and

Buel also marketed a "half Sportster" motor. the local Harley shop used them for its training class.

I just believe the motor is from that type of bike, not a 919.

Blast probably can be switched to chain, most belt drive H-Ds can
Buells have fins and exhaust exiting on the right side.

I say, stripped buell blast.

Inkscars · « **Reply #15 on:** May 30, 2009, 08:57:23 AM »

Hmm. Considering that he posted that while I was posting mine, and I almost bought a blast for that reason, I'll say it's a coincedence.
You get so worked up. It's funny to watch.

Hey! wrong thread!

HavocTurbo · « **Reply #17 on:** May 30, 2009, 10:12:18 AM »

I see your point Heff. The lines do kind of make it look like a 919.

But I'm going to call you out as a tard on the engine. That is clearly a Henderson 4 with 3 cylinders lopped off.

Sheesh Heff you are sooooooooooooo blind.

Look at the two side by side..... VERY CLOSELY!!!! They are obviously Excelsior frames with Confederate carbon fiber and ducati tanks.

Seriously though...Lay off my girl. Ink you are on to somethin.

Inkscars · « **Reply #18 on:** May 30, 2009, 10:16:47 AM »

I shoulda bought that blast a few months ago, freaking 500 bux, plastics were crap but if it as long as the frame/tank was good, it've been worth it.
Definitely a DOH!

Sporkfly · « **Reply #19 on:** May 31, 2009, 11:17:50 AM »

I think I want a Blast now, never thought I'd say it

AHuff · « **Reply #20 on:** May 31, 2009, 02:28:53 PM »

Greatest Blast custom I have seen thus far.

HavocTurbo · « **Reply #21 on:** May 31, 2009, 03:04:11 PM »

Holy #$%* that is cool!!!

Inkscars · « **Reply #22 on:** June 01, 2009, 05:44:53 AM »

Custom would be an understatement. It seems to have retained the engine!
Cool little bike though. Wowzer.

crazypj · « **Reply #23 on:** June 01, 2009, 11:32:36 PM »

Its a chopped up Blast. $16,000 for 35bhp
