Two 6 cylinder Kawasaki Z1300 lumps spliced together to make a V12 bike. If memory serves he also created a bike with an 8 litre V10 Dodge Viper lump.......as you do. :)

Top talent. :)

He has done lots of them over the years. An engineer and petrol head I used to know, met him and tried to have a conversation with him about how he does what he does. He claimed he just hacksawed through crankcases and winged it from there.  ::)

He does demonstrate that in several other videos. I found the hacked about and rewelded camshafts even more impressive.

.....Yes. Pretty sure one of them was a 1250cc 5 cylinder 2 stroke Kawasaki. A 750 2 stroke triple with a couple of extra cylinders added.

It's 'probably' easier on a 2 stroke.  The crank on my RD350LC was a series of round bars and thick discs with holes in them. Pressed together.
