Today, with the new V6 and V8 auto, new transmissions, engines these monsters are no longer reserved to the shows and the babes in bikini or runway and wild Browns: they are not more dangerous than any other large motorcycle and adapted to the road.

Ask his bum on this kind of machine is not common.
It is long, wide (very large), heavy (very heavy), with a centre of gravity very low, and surprise: a comfortable handling and agility surprising taking into account the weight of the beast.
Well, let us not the face, it is still more comfortable on a motorway on the Corsican virolos: it is perfectly stable up to 150 km/h.
Then you wonder: the engine? the engine?
And although c'est a V8 chevrolet ZZ4, of 5700 cc developing 355 chevaux, but if you fear so much puissance, it is also rising with a V6 Vortec 4300 cc which develops que 210 cv; but we do us focus not on this poussif, mill us devote to the V8 version;-)
Admission is by fuel, but you can ask the injection...
The power is passed to the rear wheel via a gearbox automatic two reports + reverse (electric clutch) and a 14 mm strap.
And the burnt gases are evacuated in a sound of hell by of supertrap (the line is coated with ceramic).
The framework and all that
It goes without saying that they must be robust to resist efforts "tremblementdeterresques": it is the double tubular steel chrome Moly to almost 4 cm in diameter and engine participates in the rigidity!
The ground clearance is 220 mm
The tires are to have 230 at the rear and front wheels 140 of respectively 381x203mm and 381 ** 88 mm.
The reservoir contains 32 litres, but we are not going very far with the full;-) with the carburettor version: just 350 kilometres.
Back depreciation is entrusted to a pro-active mono damper.
Braking is to under 350 mm with brackets steel double discs dual piston Wilwood front and simple disk of 290 with brackets double piston at the back.
And any ca to 450 kg dry...
Performance?
You must doubt that this thing not very distant of the drag racing in the evolution of the two wheels Darwin enfume any to roll at the startup.
For the rest, the engine takes almost 6000 towers, and allows quiet cruiser to 130 km/h at 2900 RPM. There is therefore the margin to double quietly a R1 which is trainerait in a long straight line (provided you have a bull neck:-) or ride the breeze parre)
the auto box is unimaginable comfort: the engine responds far in any situation, and the weight of the spacecraft is quickly forgotten.
The price: it takes in the 32000 EUR for the V8... (order API-Racing, Inc.-2276 DIXIE Rd., MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO, CANADA L4Y - 1Z4: tel (905) 270.8974) but I am not sure whether the approval is easy in France...
Although it is always possible d'émigrer United States:-)
There are other "manufacturers" of V8: Boss Hoss for example, which is fabulous machines.
