What is this?
Hey all haven't been on here in awhile. Still riding and loving my SV650N over here in Northern California. There is another web site I belong to that has a Trivia thread, well a guy posted a picture of a rare hand built British Race bike and it hasn't been identified yet. I was hoping some of you might have a clue as to what it is. HELP!!! here is the picture, thanx.

Re: What is this?
That engine looks like a Gilera or possibly an MV agusta unit,but there was a British bike called a KRM (Or something like that).They built a DOHC four and tried it in the 350 class.Dont know if thats it.:confused:

Re: What is this?
not uncommon for racers to build one off's, it is a MV agusta engine though,
heres the 350cc 4 cylinder version http://www.manxman.co.im/mvagusta/engine.jpg and here's the 6 cylinder one http://www.dropbears.com/m/models/cl...s/mv6assen.jpg you can plainly see the same build. Cheers Mark. |
Re: What is this?
First thing I thought was MV, But look at the clutch area, made me wonder???

it's a dry clutch, for heat disapation and easy change, not just a new Ducati thing you know, same engine though. http://www.classic-motorrad.de/bendi...-Fotos/Tre.jpg |
Re: What is this?
Someone figured it out. This is what they posted:
It’s a Marsh 4 cylinder from the early 1960s. Fred Marsh was quite a remarkable man and engineer who also made Britain’s only DOHC V8! This one was based on triumph Terrier Heads, Ariel telescopic forks and a Douglas Dragonfly frame! :cheers: |
