Replacement FJR Prototype Spotted

[ionbeam]

It's going to be a V engine to replace the current V-Max mill with upgraded engine power. Spy photos of a running sample:

I'll see BMW with their 6 cylinder and double it.

I'll wear my welding mask when you show up with it Alan. And, maybe Coors Light would want it for a commercial?

Valve Check: every 5000 miles, $3,500 at your local dealer.

It has upside-down forks ... bonus

Looking through the rear wheel, I see a sprocket. I see the teeth of a sprocket. I don't see anything ON the sprocket.....

It's someone's garage bodge.

It's actually a runner even if the picture I posted is of a work-in-process. There is a guy that specializes in engine grafting and then selling DIY plans and machined parts to create the Siamese engines.

...Over the past few days, we have seen quite a few motorcycles powered by giant engines, and now it’s the V12 powered Honda CBX built by Andreas Georgeades. The man is no stranger to creating such monstrous motorcycles, he already has created three Ferrari engine motorcycles, two of which have V6 engines and one has a V8. The next step apparently is the 2000cc V12 he made by welding together two V6 CBX motors...

Top Speed:

...The ’V12 Andreas’ isn’t just one of those concept motorcycles that won’t ever turn into reality, but a running café racer that originally started life as a Honda CBX, which was a six-cylinder UJM (Universal Japanese Motorcycle). Although what Andreas came up with is anything but universal, his custom Honda CBX V12 Café Racer is actually powered by two such engines, which have been joined together, resulting the impressive V12 mill....\

The CBX was air cooled and even in it's six cylinder form ran very hot, especially the center cylinders. I can't imagine how the rear cylinders stay cool in that version. Still, it is an interesting project.

Sure would be nice to have a sound clip of this.

I was wondering about the whole front bank, what with the valve covers facing the wind and the fins being across the airflow.

As for the sound, I found a lot of Youtube vids of it being revved stationary, or during a slow pass, but nothing of it actually running. He's got loud cans. Ooh. Ahh.
