Crazy, but I just don't get the practicality of it. Jane calls things like that products of tiny thingy syndrome.

Jane may well be right, methinks, although I wonder if 'thingy' is the actual term. It's not for me, but it's good to share curiosities.
I thought this V8 was a monster until I remembered the 2.3 liter Triumph Rocket III. Pterodactyl, Enzo (who we've not seen for while) and I met a bloke one day who reckoned his Rocket III was 'too small and gutless'. He'd bored it out to 2.8 liters. What would Jane's diagnosis be?

At first I thought this bike would be akin to the Boss Hoss. http://www.bosshoss.com/view_bike.asp?x=BHC3LS3
Looks like two Japanese (Kawasaki maybe) in-line 4's mated to a common crankshaft and case. Lovely sound, reminds me of the music made by a Formula 1 Cosworth Ford V8 from the 70's.

I wouldn't bother to spend the $$$ on it. I would buy a MTT Turbine Superbike, also known as the Y2K Turbine Superbike. If you're going to spend money on ridiculous, you might as well go big .

Looked at the price....Holy Smoke! At that price level there's quite a few other possibilities, including buying several R1s or 1299s, trashing them all, and then buying more.

Not only would I not ride that, I wouldn't even want to race in the lane next to it!
The PGM on the other hand...:excited: ...No.

I was reading the spec sheet (which is quite impressive) and had to chuckle when I came across this :

Top speed: How brave are you?

They build it because they can, that is the only reason needed.
