With the oil tank being used as the base for the seat, however rides this will get a really warm arse. Mind you, that might be the least of their worries.

Re: In the Works: Ferrari V8 Motorcycle
Where's the gearbox?
Surely not using a little bike gearbox on that big torquey (in bike terms at least) V8?

It'll sound nice and I was surprised at 227kgs before bodywork it wasn't heavier. Some skills to make everything work.

As with Allen Millyard's V8 it'll be direct drive with no gearbox.Mr. Dazzle wrote: Fri May 16, 2025 8:50 am Where's the gearbox?

To be honest, I was more impressed with a bike he made for himself rather than this. Yes, it's a demonstration of his skills, but as something to use on a (semi) regular basis? Nah.
This is right up my street - a KTM 950 SM(R) he built for himself weighing in at 146kg dry (if what the bumf says is to be believed); 45kg taken off a 191kg bike:
