An Amazing story that leaves me to believe a V-twin GY6 maybe possible......... ( or not )
If you know how hard this is to do, a story like this restores my faith in humanity and the working mans ingenuity to do ANYTHING.......
Enjoy..... Then share your opinion.

The current crop of Royal Enfield bikes are very cool, but they lack punch on the freeway. The Musket V-twin would eliminate that problem, and look great while doing it. I think Royal Enfield needs to revive that v-twin if they want to grow their market share significantly in the US.   |

The wife and I recently took one of the beemer's out for a ride, and stopped at the Glenn H Curtiss Museum, in Hammondsport, NY. Talk about American ingenuity.......108 years ago, he built a V8 powered...shaft driven, motorcycle, that was clocked at 136.3 mph.....making him the fastest man on earth. He certainly must have had a pair, to take this machine to that speed. 1907 Curtiss V8 Motorcycle |

There's just something about building your own engine, Not buying parts, but accually making the molds to be casted and making things work on your own.
That is an impressive feat in this modern time of ordering online.
Kudos to the small guy!!! JMHO.
