Oh I suppose there is a cool factor, certainly lots of interesting work. 

There seems plenty of front end bias!

Always thought this was the best looking V   https://silodrome.com/laverda-v6/   This 8 had to be boxed up and sent to factory for a tune up......that's BWaller money.....  https://ultimatemotorcycling.com/2009/07/11/morbidelli_v8_motorcycle_review/

The man ( Allan Milyard ) who started this frankenengine thing more or less (obviously not the first ever to do such a thing but pretty decent line-up over the year, and he makes them look factory more or less ) Has recentlt released a build vid, due to corona lockdown.
The things he does with 'basic' tooling...way cool...
He has more time on his hands now, so let's hope he continues to make more process vids over the next few months (normally he's more of a builder less of a youtuber)..

"Tjitze always wanted the Morbidelli 850 V8, but couldn’t afford it, so he made his own  V8-powered motorcycle."

That explains, i guess..... :)

Worth to subscribe to his channel, if you are into tinkering... or always were wondering how to make your own 6 cilinder Honda :o.

( He has posted some more videos in the meantime, besides this one )

I kept giggling when he went from the hand hacksaw to his 'super solid' bandsaw ... to cut a cilinderblock in half.

Beautiful milling machine he has btw.

Amazing what he does, and I personally really enjoy his style of video.
