Wonder if he burns his knees on the rocker covers?

I don't usually like anything that ostentatious, but that thing is pretty cool. Like the twin calipers per disc, but it only has one front disc Confused . Wonder what sort of transmission it is?

Does look quite nicely put together but as mentioned, still has a few drawbacks. It needs a more old school set of clocks. I'm assuming it has no radiator fan? (can't see one, maybe i'm not looking hard enough).

Was going to post if any one had heard about this.

Got mentioned today at work that one of the new apprentice's dad has just built an 8l bike. Thought it was bullshit tbh. But being that the apprentices name is sam millyard i can believe it now.

Will look foward to some more info on it Thumbs Up

Puts a whole new spin on torque steer, it's kind of amusing that it works better than the original Tomahawk though Smile

I think a vid was posted about that when the throttle got stuck open at a rally? Was it a Jag 5.3?

It did - I think it was at NADB 2007. I was there but didn't see/hear it (working)

Apparently some people thought it was going to explode - something wasn't right with the turbos and they went nuts.

I think it looks a bit ridiculous to be honest. Anything bigger than a Triumph Rocket is getting silly.
