Saw this at Cosford Airshow today! Anybody seen it before or know anything about it?

Looked like two Hilman Imp engines put together to make a V8.

Can't do big pictures

Wow, that's awesome and incredibily silly at the same time!

Never seen nor heard of it before.. try throwing that down some twisties, I think not..

An odd looking thing! A bit of a homemade effort? I don't know anything about them, but they are not the only V8 bike - the Boss Hoss from America is pretty daft to! Here is one we saw in Germany last year...

At least the boss hoss mass of steel looks presentable. I wouldn't put the first bike in with the cattle.
I bet it doesn't sound or go like a V8 anyways.

There was a guy on a Boss Hogg at the Scotch Piper (pug near me) the other week. Seriously heavy bike (if you can still call it a bike).

So that's what a V8 postbox would look like. Bizarre, ugly, but quite cool.

At least the Boss Hoss was designed to be a bike (sort of)...

It's Two race tuned Hillman Imp engines, Yamaha XJR1200 front end, Honda CBX fuel tank, Suzuki rear wheel, Kawasaki Z1300 gearbox converted to chain drive, 4 x 40 IDF Webbers, Rover distributor.
