    Something (Kawasaki) that you don't see every day

    How about a V-8 powered Z1...

    wouldn't that be an 1800 not a 1600?

      Maybe he had to short-stroke the crank to make it all work?

        Neat.

        I wonder how long you could ride it before the back bank overheats?

          Wonder who's bike this is? Are we sure this isn't a photo shop job?

            I think I've seen this before. IIRC, wasn't daily rider capable due to engine temps on the rear bank. I remember it as being a really cool exercise in engineering. I hate people with both talent AND money.

              I remember seeing this thing in a magazine 15-20 years ago

                If I recall, a fellow has done this with multiple bikes. That is, putting two engines together.
