How difficult is the carb sync on that chainsaw motor bike?

Not much torque either IMO.

Oh wait, that bike has no sidestand!
It has the right hand headers for that.

Useable Bikes
The Dr. Frankenstein special with a ?V12? engine look like it would actually be streetable, and a blast to ride. (as long as the road curves are gentle)

That last bike with 2 inline 4's married to make a V8 reminds me of an article I read years ago about a guy in Australia who did something similar with a YZF, i believe. I Think the title was "V-8 Sportbike", probably in an issue of Sport Rider. Was his name Drysdale?

Are you talking about Joebody's rocket? I think that is an X-24 motor.

Not that fake useless looking bike with way too many mufflers, but the next pic. Now I see the name of the pic is "V12 Kawa". Did not think to look at the file name before . I was just counting the header pipes on the front of the engine, times 2.

I think the general consensus around the net is that JoeRocket's bike is a non-running mock-up for an Avon tire ad in the late 70's...

Both the v12 and v8 are creations of this mans warped mind...

I didn't either. My tired old eyes couldn't see the 6 pipes in front, so I assumed it was a V8.
