Exclamation Aston Martin's V12 shoved into a motorcycle?!?!?

Holy Moly!!!

A German motorcyclist fitted a 6000cc V12 from an Aston Martin which, depending on the model he pinched it from, makes anything from 420 to 514bhp.




The bike turns on at 2:16.

That is a pointless pile of ..... balony. Seriosuly, what a wasted use of that engine, the bike looks absolutely hideous and doesn't even sound good at all imho. That motor sounded much better when it was on the car with proper exhaust.

So true, it does not sound or look appealing at all

If he stuffed that V12 into a Lexus...

That thing probably has ridiculous amounts of low end torque. No need to wring it out ever! Imo the wheels are to small for such a gigantic engine. Looks very weird. But I love the creativity. Its completely unique!


My goodness, Lexus and Yamaha should put the LFA V 10 on a Yamaha sportsbike!!!

Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should!
