I want

[fjray]

I'm not a custom bike guy. Got a Vstrom now and previous bike was a FJ1100. However........

 

[Bucksnort101]

I've been eyeing up that for a couple years now. Hows about this one?

 

[Lucky13]

Too small I want it with a Twin Wasp!

 

[Thorlifter]

Yeah, pull the P&W out of an old Hellcat! That would be great!!!!

 

[Screaming Eagle]

or even one of those super corsair engines!

Read some time ago that a guy in Aussi took 2 clylinders out of a merlin for his bike

I'm all for having a nice bike and all but to rape a whole merlin for one bike in my opinion isn't worth it

 

[Airframes]

Agreed, disgusting!
Should have used the WHOLE Merlin!

Agreed, disgusting!
Should have used the WHOLE Merlin!

I think some dude in Australia actually did that!
Mind you, the bike was real big.

 

[Matt308]

Like how big?

 

[GrauGeist]

why not go for a gas turbine powered ride?

 

[pbfoot]

One of the reasons its hard to get Merlins is the fact many were used by tractor pulls and other stupid crap and the use in these events ruined the engines . I think Calvin Weekes bought up a bunch of Allisons to prevent it happening to more and they are reserved for aircraft

Free exhausts ? no silencers ? Damn you will need new eardrums with that thing
