V8 Ninja?
Call me crazy, but I just think it would be really cool to take two ZX12 motors and make a V8 out of them. Wonder what it would take?
1. Muzzy EMS
2. Custom crankshaft trigger. - might be easy with EMS
3. Cams - really different cams.
4. Crank. Hmm...No way to fit 8 con rods in there...Maybe 4 pairs, aka shared crankpin?
5. Custom lower case.
6. Clutch capable of handling 350 hp / 240 lb-ft of torque...
Any thoughts?

One of those shows, like Jesse James, shoot them an email and I bet ya they would do it.
Why not 3 motors and make a V12 to compete with that new Caddy engine out there.

I thought there is a guy over on the small island(England) who was doing that with 2/6cylinders?

I bet it could be possibly, maybe like those tractor pull set ups, that be 162x2 horses,, interesting , but I think id be too bulky under your pants , or too long of a bike.

So take the motor out of a Vulcan 2K, and shoehorn the V8 (or W12) in there instead.  Line it up longitudally and hook the output to a shaft.

Did anyone see the article/vid of the guy in England who built a 48cyl (yes, that's right) 2-stroke out of KH250 motors and stuck it in a bike?
And no, it didn't have any expansion chambers.

That only uses the heads and cylinders. If done right, you could still use the tranny. Their package isn't all that smaller than an indy v8, and makes significantly less power.
