Talking V8 engine on a bicycle? anyone? Seriously...

I think this engine would fit in a chopper, but way too expensive for a bicycle. But boy, it would be really cool if someone could accomplish something like this. It would be like a Hayabusa bicycle.

I Would Love To Have A Supercharged One But That Would Almost Be 6000 Dollars You Could Build A Real Motorcycle With A V8 For That.

yeh I was thinking that too, I just saw an 800CC BMW in the weekend paper for less than that.

But ****, if I had the money I'd have one of those in an instant.

a 100CC V8, I wonder what it sounds like...

If money were the deciding factor in everything, The GEO Metro would still be in production and we would all be driving them.

That is about the most bad motor I could imagine fitting on a bike!
I gotta dream about it at least!
