Any vids? couldn't find any on the web site. at 12,000rpm it would probably sound like an indy car lol.

It's basically 2 bike engines bolted together. They use the hyuabusa or r1 barrels pistons heads throttle bodies and bolt to a custom crank case. Heaps of guys in the uk going it. I've seen stuff on smart cars with them!
