Not surprisingly it was getting a fair bit of attention, and my god did it sound awesome when he turned it over. Heard him say it had a 20 gallon fuel tank on it as well.

It was in MCN a few weeks back and last week as well they compared it to a couple of other bikes one of which was the new V-Max.

Note the twin callipers on the front disk......

Saw it in the MCN web page and heard it on there but I bet it was better live to hear it

Very nice and it looks well built, not just thrown together.
I don't know about a 20 gallon fuel tank I would just want somewhere to keep the toilet roll ;D

I was at Popham classic show a couple of weeks ago and Millyards V12 Kawasaki was there.........

I believe that Millyard lives local to the Swindon area.

Here he is running the V12..........

LMAO at the expression of the man with the Goatee!

[Iceman]

...not worth mentioning my lil'ol 600 then! ;D

[Davey]

It was well built as had a good look at it and a chat with the owner currently down geared so will only do 165mph but will get to 150 in 5.5 seconds! with the ram air system and changed gearing will do 225mph.

Yes it does has a 20 gal fuel tank and all the bike was hand built by him.

For the SVA test the front brake reached 97% which is amazing bearing in mind the pass rate is only 40%.

He's from Thatcham

Personally though I didn't think it sounded that impressive as it pulled away not as noisy as I thought it would be

[SupeRDel]

Actually the V12 Kawasaki ain't that impressive either.

Too many cylinders... :-?

Now his V8 Kawasaki sounds spot on.

Allen started off by building a V-twin out of two Honda C90 engines then he progressed onto adding cylinders to engines.

A couple of years ago one of his five cylinder Kawasaki's was at the Calne show.

Then he made the V8 engined bike - by then with all the knowledge he had it was easy to make the V12.

Looks like there is less engineering in the viper bike than when he cut and welds engines and cases.

Last I heard he will build you a V8 for 20 grand

Few extra Cylinders maybe [smiley=embarassed.gif]

8-)

[igbell]

Now that is just silly

[Kevinb]

I think I will stick with 2 cylinders and 1700cc.

[ONFIRE]

Few Cylinders more or less not bad 40k for an old one :D

[igbell]

Now that looks nice....

[Uber Dave]

Now that looks nice....

I will second that!

[Iceman]

love the Kawasaki! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

[SupeRDel]

Must agree - Alot of work and money gone into that but still has basic simple clean design
