No. If I hadn't been so surprised buy what I was seeing, I would have got a crappy underside shot of it flying overhead at however many 1000s of feet it flies at.

Excluding the ugly headlamp assembly, I like the bike.

So cool ^^^

Oooooh yeah I'd ride the Sh*t outta that $104k beast. KTMish head light but wouldn't care one bit for that sound after mid RPM.

[Brake Weight]

That’s normally aspirated, too. Wait until some yahoo straps some twin turbos on it. 500hp on tap easily at those RPMs.

That headlight looks like a space helmet. Not this one.


Maybe Antman.

Not my style, but I dig all the hand fabbed parts and the work that went into building it though.

The guy that built it says it made from 2 R1 engines and that no one has ever gone beyond 28% of its throttle.
I personally like the long naked look and I am totally sold on that sound.

Its acceleration makes some of those 1000cc bikes look like puppies.

I didn’t realize it is a one off. I wonder what’d do at an event like the Texas Standing mile or The Milton Mile.

It'd probably do well once they got fast enough the electronics weren't preventing the throttle from fully opening, and thus swatting the rider like a fly.

That’d be a helluva power plant in VW...or any small car for that matter. Mass produce them as the new #LS swap.

Old school mini with a Subi AWD drivetrain, rocketship.

it would get laughed at. im assuming around 400+ HP and the contact patch the size of a business card. it would get smoked.

A NASCAR tire has about as much as a men’s size 8, IIRC.

I was looking for a salt flat record holder from Cali that rode his ‘busa over, set some records, and rode it back to Cali. But then stumbled across this nugget and gave up.

Oh sorry I forgot this was a public forum.

I love when they put street bike engines into the old school, pocket-sized Minis!

With GP-grade electrical nannies (traction control, wheelie prevention, etc) the bike could do better. Still, 2 (or 4) powered contact patches are better than one in terms of straight line acceleration.

That's the best sounding bike I've ever heard. It sounds like the older v8 Ferrari F1 motors. Those flat plane crank V8s sound incredible at mid & high RPM.

I want an old Mini very badly. Would love one hopped up but a restomod would suffice so long as it’s got something like this.

This is another cool or WTH depending on how you look at it. I think it's cool. It's a Volvo with a 39 liter V12 from a tank!



This is just as cool if not cooler. A custom planetary gear transmission!

That was amazing. All hail the Zapata!
