Austrailian Builder of V-8 Powered Motorcycles
« on: 06.01. 2014 00:38 »
Can anyone tell me who is building motorcycle frame kits for American V-8 motors?

I seem to recall one was from Austraila but I can't recall the name.

Worked at Triumph/Norton dealership back in the day.  Also had Bultacos for the racers and sold Yamahas to keep the lights on and the doors open.

I recently saw a video of some sand drags in Austrailia that had some V-8 bikes with motors mounted across the frame like a standard inline four.

Those bikes looked great and I am guessing they might have been built in Austrailia.

I probably won't ever build one but the idea does appeal to me.

Never hurts to daydream a little, right?

Cheers
