    Custom dual engine Yamaha XS11

    This is one impressive build, a dual engined Yamaha XS1100. The question is, how do you get that much power onto the ground? Like many over the top custom builds it's probably never going to see any actual use on the street but still, cool stuff!

    I had an XS11 and loved it, but that thing is an aberration of aesthetic values and seems to make zero sense.

      I don’t see the point of it at all.

        As near as I can figure I posted this exactly one month too early....

        The only thing you really need to pull off this "build" is a couple of mirrors and a green screen!

            In the ancient times, before Mark Zuckerberg invented social media, there was a very common concept called fun that was widely shared amongst people across the land, even the entire world in some cases.

            This long held tradition was destroyed by those whose identity became defined by hard, clear evidence, their sense of self being offended by anything deviating from established norms. This often led to heated disagreements which could only be quelled by reciting an old tome, that being "May they mount upon themselves if they cannot find the humor in it"

              lab, your question "how do you get "that much" power to the ground". With no drive wheel you'll never get "any amount" of power to the ground.

                Waste of time. Can't be ridden.
                1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

                2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

                  Clearly AI.. I like how the exhaust for each engine just goes into the other! LOL

                    I don't think that much effort was put into it . Just a simple Photoshop . You can see the evidence in that there is no centre or side stand explaining how the bike doesn't topple over . A better Photoshop wouldn't have overlooked that detail .....

                        Ah, yes......historians speak of the missing link!!

                        Here we are missing the entire chain!



                        You can't "get that much power to the ground" when you ain't got no drive train..


                        I go along with the suggestion of AI......it is no more than a figment of someone's imagination.

                            Oh, Norm. Now you really got me worried about you. I know you don't have kids. At least I have an excuse to, from time to time, belt out the goodbye song from Bear in the Big Blue House or theme songs from Phineas and Ferb, of Jimmy Neutron and many others.
