Another Viper V10 Motorcycle

By

Allen Millyard's Viper V10 motorcycle isn't the first on the street, in fact there may have been many before it. For instance, Paul, one of our readers, sent these photos taken at Daytona a few years ago. It looks like a Boss Hoss with an engine swap. While I applaud the effort the builder put into this, I think the Allen Millyard build wins on appearances and most likely … [Read more...]

The V-Quad engine, basically a side by side V-Twin, that Greg Nelson produces, was installed in a custom motorcycle built by Brouhard Design for owner Mike Maggio. They took it to Bonneville recently and Maggio ran 164.172 mph for a new record in the APGU class.

Allen Millyard Builds a Viper V10 Motorcycle

Hayabusa Reverse Trike – TT-Busa

By

The Hayabusa is probably one of the most modified and customized motorcycles ever produced, sooner or later, if it's been done to any bike, it will eventually be done to a Hayabusa. So, I wasn't too surprised when I saw this, but I have to think it could get a little interesting in high speed turns. This trike, called the TT-Busa, does not appear to lean, it's sort of a … [Read more...]

Enfield Musket has a New Website and Logo

By

Aniket has been building a new website for his very popular 700cc Musket V-Twin. He recently repainted the tank with his new logo, 2 muskets standing in a V design behind the words Enfield Musket. I think it looks very professional and captures the essence of the V-Twin project. His site is just starting out but looks good so far. The section on "process" should be an … [Read more...]
