Thats amazing. When I see something like that the first thing that jumps into the head is 'why?'.

Now that would be a great pit bike.

I'd love to see the outside welding on the cases :o.

I'm guessing, but I think the lower barrel is as per normal and the upper barrel has been added. Probably by cutting up another set of cases and welding in the appropriate bits to the cases.

That probably would have been easy compared to machining a new crank ::).

Lets hope it's not infact just a mock up superglued on for looks..wouldn't be the first time such a cunning stunt has been pulled  ;) I wouldn't think so but....

Mick, one of those kits would do it nicely I'd reckon...just need a little bit of vision..oh..an a nice little bank account too ;)
