At the risk of excommunication

I'll post this here ,as the basic bike is an R80 , what happens after that is unusual ,innovative and quite amazing .Most will find it horrifying , I love it ! An excellent report ,lots of skill and heaps of perseverance !

Still trying to figure out what the point of doing it was. A heavy 800cc motor to replace a light 800cc motor?
It didn't even look good let alone run. I want to see a Porsche flat 6 in an airhead. That would be something. Better yet, two airhead motors coupled together to make a 4 cylinder.

I once saw a fellow that took a CV 500 and put a diesel motor in it Iasked how it was and performed it point was its grand

it looked strange and sorry no photo to attach it as totally solo and had a about 500cc twin air cooled it can do about 80 all day I then looked at the gas tank where do you expect to get with that Oh it gets about 80 mile per gallon on veggie oil............................

It seems like, years back, someone posted a picture of a BMW at a ralley that had two BMW engines in it; nose to tail.
