    Can't see the image but I think I know the one. A bit too over the top. I think 1700cc is big enough (but they do big bore kits and turbo's for an MT-01 just in case)

    Seriously, do all customs have to have a bloody V-twin? Use your imagination people... :
    I know what you mean most customs use Harley engines WHY. If you want a custom tractor use a Massey Ferguson engine ;D

    Now a nice Triumph twin with a reversed head on it. Yum. Or a big single.

    V-twins are slim and fill the frame space better than anything else so I guess that's why they're the most popular.

    A Vincent v-twin would make a very pleasant change Or a Rotax990 for something a bit more modern (slightly biased)

    I'm surprised there aren't more of this sort of thing using air-cooled Ducati engines.

    Most use S&S engines because of the ease of mounting and ease of modding compared to the Ducatti or Japanese engines.

    It does however make for a fairly formulaic motorcycle.... and I love the ones which use odd engines or novel frames.
