That's a Dnepr Rick, Soviet copy of a BMW, there's another one called a Urinal, and they're both as slow as a wet week in Christchurch, but will probably survive a nuclear holocaust.......... ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Would those stacks even function properly like that?  There was a different post on the forums where a guy took a chevy carb and did that.

Hey that's a beautiful BMW race bike Buca, I'm playing with a R100RS project at the moment, tell me what you've done to achieve 85 BHP mate, I love my "Bavarian Murder Weapon", but I laso have a 2007 Triumph Rocket III, and the BMW feels a little bit underpowered in comparison? Cheers, Terry. ;D
Hi Terry, working lot to make that. Most important mod is longer stroke. Typical BMW 1000 cc cylinder dimensions are 94 x 70,6 mm. Mine is 93.43 x 72.6. I use forged flat top piston from auto racing program and machined con rods longer for 11mm and smaller bering. Stock is 48mm mine is 45mm . Con rods are carillo style H beam made from light aluminium alloy. Heads are R75 with biger intake valve. Must use smaler head chamber due to flat piston to get comression 10 to 1. Camshaft is 286 with 0.8 mm more lift. But stock R 90 S cam will do the same. I get these by chance and it is good. Take lots of weight from flywheel/clutch assembly. Allmost 2 kg. From crankshaft 0.5 kg minus. On piston/conrod 130 gramm less than stock. Dellorto carb 38mm. Reving up to 7200 but is good for 8000 safe on shifting. I get biger stroke on crank with offset machining for smaller bering diameter. For hill climb use 3.36 ratio that is 175 kmh on 7000 rpm 4th gear. For road racing 2.98 wich is top speed 215 kmh.

Wow, don't know how I managed to miss this until now.
 Terrific work on motor, I love to hear about engine work

The shiny one. The black ones aren't fussy enough! ;) ;D I did see a YouTube on that one though so I'm a little biased.

What's the middle one? Is it a 'Wing too? It's been HEAVILY modded! :o

That middle one is actually a Valk but yeah, basically a 'wing. I saw that awhile ago somewhere, very cool! I almost got one but my biking goals have since changed course. They're awesome though.

Yeah, now that I look at it I recognize it. That thing has been seriously done up though. WOW! I kinda liked the Valkyrie if only for the fact that it was a cruiser that wasn't a V-twin. I'll probably never own one though.

I wanted one so I could put electra-glide bags and a batwing fairing on it. Woulda been nice but I'm way too young for that! That's why my current cruiser is going on the market in a couple months and why I bought a CBR.

Honda cub with disc brakes

I've never seen this before but the locals in the islands mod these things to the max, I don't know how fast they make these cubs go but if they need front and back discs they must be hot! ;D

These cubs look fast. They do the same here in the philippines with this 150cc hondas and yams with automatic transmission.
Big brake discs,carb mods and of course very loud pipes. sound almost like 1000cc ;D ;D ;D

Almost a 'good' idea.
Would be much simpler (and probably cheaper) to get a reverse cam ground though and use triplex chain around crank to a jackshaft/output.
I would be looking at a few straight cut clutch gears as they will be relatively cheap, helical gears have a lot of side thrust (unless you have two pairs set in 'herringbone' pattern)
 With twin cranks it should be possible to phase them and remove just about all vibration
