Went over to this gents house to see this bike he's been building. The engine is built from two Honda VFR750 engines spliced together to form a V8 displacing ~1500cc, it runs on nitro and has a roots-type supercharger. During our visit he offered to fire it up for us. It sounds positively ferocious!
oh my god
Woah. That's absolutely insane.
As awesome as it is, I don't think I want to be taking it around a corner!

Yeah, I think this one was intended for straight line speed runs!
Good googly moogly that is insane!

- Sounds incredible! Delicious! No corners on this one, but for a chance to get on it and hold it WFO in a straight line, I think I could see God on that!
Supercharged nitro V8 VFR. Don't know how fast it is, but still the coolest drag bike I've seen.
Would also love to see what was right beside it in the garage
I think I need a cigarette after that !!!
OK unless I'm missing something it does not appear to have a cooling circuit ! I can see an expansion tank but NO rads !
One idea I've had for ages would be to build 3 x VFR800's into a V12 aero engine ! If tuned to 130hp each at the crank, then combined normally aspirated it should be a 400hp motor, now with super/turbo charging, that would rise to MAX power of around 550hp or maybe a bit more ! From an engine that weighs in around 150Kg or less. It would be great for a 1/2 or 2/3 scale Warbird engine.
