We’ve recently been informed that you might be able to buy one of these incredible engines, right here in SA.
Some mad scientist/engineer, from the UK, we believe, has taken two Yamaha Fazer 1000 engines and produced this masterpiece.
Can you imagine how hard it would be to produce a V8 from two 1,000cc bike engines, and then make it work? Obviously some monster downdraft thingies have been installed to dump in tons of fuel and therefore make lots of horsepower.
The outcome is a claimed 380hp @ 14,000pm. Unfortunately it seems this motor ends up sitting inside a car’s frame rails. But can you imagine putting this lump into a motorbike, where it really belongs, and having the best sounding engine, ever?
