This twin V-Twin, twin turbo custom motorcycle debuted at Biketoberfest last fall and took Best in Class at the Rat's Hole Custom Bike Show. It was built by A1 Cycles of Wellington, Florida and is called "All In." The bike runs a 360 rear tire and a 310 front, not exactly a sportbike, but it's interesting nevertheless. The twin engines put out a reported 550 horsepower with one engine rotating in reverse.
Again, not exactly a sporty ride but they get a few points for the engine setup. V4s made from V-twins seem to be showing up more frequently. Is this a new custom trend? I think I prefer the AJS V4 myself.

This is not a motorcycle—it is a freak show. Entertaining, but little else.
I’d like to hear it run and see it squirt about… You ride it!
interesting engineering exercise, but I think it’s pretty unattractive. and does anybody know where else you could put an engine like that? so, yeah, interesting, but only momentarily.
Believe I liked the Twindian better.

Christ. I bet that thing handles like the Titanic.
I have been trying to build a V4 big harley for a couple of years now, i planned on putting it in a trike similar to the t-rex, i think this bike is an engineering marvel but i’d like to see it up close.
ok, i give up – somewhere I had photos of a custom crate motor someone was developing based on half of a 350. much better packaging, not even 40% as awkward as a boss hoss…i’ll post again if i can track it down, but it gets my v4 custom trophy
