Here's a better pic, the bike in the background is a harley for size comparison. Looks like a dragster chassis with a Viper engine crammed into it.

To call that rediculous or ludicrouse is still no comprehension of how out of this planet that is. The amount of tourque those engines have would never be able to be kept in control the wheels would continuosly lose traction into a wild spin my brother V rod does all the time.

A late model Sports bike these days weighs about 170 kg with a up to 190 hp. more power than wight they just raise the front wheel but I do not believe the bikes above would and if it did you would be in trouble as when th wheel comes back down the frame and forks could handle the impact.

These bikes above are show bikes and are amazing at that they are normally operational to ride on and off the trailor as the turning circle on them would be like a double bogie semi.

On the other hand a late model sports bike is another issue all together :P:(

Keeping the front wheel on the ground wouldn't be the biggest problem with any of these but stopping the torque-reaction throwing you into oncoming traffic or simply body-slamming you into the bitumen definitely would be!!

      Definitely a hearty eater when we go out, I consider these meals my cheat day as I've been watching my calories in and calories out pretty hard since my little fun size stroke, I've gone from a fat boy of 89 Kg, I'm only 165cm tall/short, down to a almost semi lean 73 Kg over the last few years, I'm currently around 17% body fat which my doctor is very happy with, but, my goal is to slowly get down to and maintain 15%,so yeah, I want all of the protein, carbs, fats and sugars when I go out for a binge

      There was a great one on Victoria Rd in Gladesville too back in the day. I can only assume GTSBoy is thinking of the mill up on the wollondilly, no restaurant there any more but they have restored the original steam engine on site and run it every few months, have an annual steampunk festival etc @The Bogan, you came to the wrong town for restaurants. we have a few reasonable asian and indian options but the Paragon is as good as it gets otherwise. That brewery is apparently just opened, been meaning to give it a go some time. The Highlands have plenty of fancy options but I suspect you are more a hearty eater than fancy eater

      Going by the intake & injectors I'd be guessing it's a DE, check the head casting number, should be 5L8 on a DET, 5L7 I think is the DE number.
