In 1985 Lucky Keizer from Australia built this bike,
using the front two cylinders of a Rolls-Royce
Merlin aircraft engine. To this 5000 cc monster
he added nitrous-oxide injection and later a blower!

It seems the engine out of this bike is now in use as
the powerplant for a motorcycle land speed record bike.


A pic of the Merlin with blower,
I guess he can empty that fueltank
within 5 minutes....
