I saw and HEARD one of these, or probably this one, in a demo run of some sort at Mount Panorama quite some years ago,the noise it made was incredible. A bloody beautiful  bit of kit and what history !!

Certainly a good looking bike. I reckon it's worth closer to it's asking price than a lot of big dollar bikes on ebay

Err, someone run that configuration by me again.
4 conrods
3 pistons
2 heads
2 carby’s
2 exhausts
1 spark plug

From that I have to assume one cylinder runs as an air pump feeding the other 2 cylinders that run together and share a combustion chamber??

Any one know what capacity it is?
Assuming the capacity is calculated by the 2 firing cyinders.

I think that's it Geoff, the centre cylinder acts as the supercharger, pumping the air/fuel mixture into the two outer cylinders.
The Deek features a third forward facing cylinder which acts as a "kompressor" to force the fuel mixture into the two vertical cylinders. The smaller front cylinder operates the transfer ports and the rear cylinder fires the mixture. .    [/b]http://www.mcnews.com.au/ClassicsCustoms/Museums/historical_adelaidebikemuseums.htm
