V8, MATE! Made right here in OZ
AS IAN DRYSDALE BLIPPED the throttle of the 750cc V8 in his Melbourne workshop, I was in awe. The sound reminded me of a howling F1 car. Very few bikes make the hair stand up on the back of my neck when they are free revved – some MotoGP bikes, any Pro Stock or Top Bike drag racer, any two-stroke racer and definitely this amazing machine.
As the engine-temperature rose, Ian carefully watching the MoTeC display, he took the revs a little higher and higher until finally the howling V8 was filling the workshop with a glorious note that no other bike gets close to – no bike sounds this good. I’d buy one just for the sound!
The workmanship is stunning. Gorgeous sand-cast crankcases and cylinder block, smooth curvaceous bodywork and that amazing exhaust system – the eightinto-two-into-one-into-two!
Walking around the bike for a close encounter, the workmanship is stunning. Gorgeous sand-cast
