saw this at bendigo swap, its custom made and has a side valve V8 in it.
had a for sale sign on it, saying think of a $$$$ figure and double it!

Good to see he has a tarp under it to catch all the oil, that would have to be the heaviest bike ever built !

When in New Zealand saw a 3 wheeler with some sort of v8 in it - jeeez did move off the line, but as usual no camera.

Yep thats the baby sidevalve. Called a V8-60 often found in Simca's and small on cubes. I think if you search out Honest Charley's Speed Shop they build 'em. So its not tooo custom built as such. But very cool nonetheless.

Yeah
The simca Vadetta ..

.. or some name like that had an aluminium V8 in them back in the late 50s... Capacity?? = 149 c.i and slower than a Holden 149c.i six
Only ever seen one.. and that was in a wrecking yard at Wakefield near Newcastle back in the early 70s.

There is an Aussie Built V8 powered bike in the entryway at Nabiac Motorcycle Museum. Bloody big lump of a thing.
