multiple doll engines enough to power a motorcycle?

There are dual motor bikes on youtube and IMO they are great! Would something like a triple or quad wide 60cc 2T setup be enough power for a full size chopper to cruise around on? I'm thinking of mild engines without a cvt setup. Just single speed.. there is so much room for activities in a wide motorcycle frame.

This may seem like a silly question but used engines have shot up in cost just like everything has. Got me wondering if this would even work.
 

Something like this is what I'm thinking about, except 2T. Just a cruiser that can do like 45 or 50mph while having reasonable punch off the line. I'm not sure its possible without either a CVT or proper transmission. You guys have any advice?
 
I think the only way to do this with a non-motorcycle engine is with a built 212cc or a 420cc and a good cvt.

But at that price you may as well base it on a used UJM 650cc with its gears. Or an RD350/GT380/KH250/other 2T. But not easy to find one.

By the time you're finished buying all the engines (& all the custom parts to make it work), you could've just bought a nice running motorcycle.


I'm just saying... :rolleyes:
 
Or an RD200 or 350 would get you that multicylinder 2t soundtrack, along with a transmission. That would be a fun chopper to cruise around.
