Hemi powered motorcycle

Sometimes an idea and a welder are all you need, combined with time, determination and a little different sense of what a motorcycle should be. As I was reading the October issue of Cycle World, I came across this bike by Steve Wright. It’s a custom frame monster powered by a 426 Hemi. There’s a two speed automatic (with reverse) driving dual chains, custom zoomie headers with individual Harley baffles in each tube and of course dual nitrous bottles. Steve estimates 600hp without and 800hp with the bottle. Total weight is 1150 pounds, just a tad heavy for pushing around in a tight parking lot but lots of fun in a straight line. Yeah, “That thing’s got a Hemi.”
