With the oil tank being used as the base for the seat, however rides this will get a really warm arse. Mind you, that might be the least of their worries.

Where's the gearbox?
Surely not using a little bike gearbox on that big torquey (in bike terms at least) V8?

It'll sound nice and I was surprised at 227kgs before bodywork it wasn't heavier. Some skills to make everything work.

It'd certainly keep you warm in winter!

As with Allen Millyard's V8 it'll be direct drive with no gearbox.

Looks more agile than a Boss Hoss, but that's as near to a compliment as I can get!

To be honest, I was more impressed with a bike he made for himself rather than this. Yes, it's a demonstration of his skills, but as something to use on a (semi) regular basis? Nah.
This is right up my street - a KTM 950 SM(R) he built for himself weighing in at 146kg dry (if what the bumf says is to be believed); 45kg taken off a 191kg bike:
