….what about this one? Came across this bike on an oldtimer show in Belgium, completely hand built around a Volkswagen diesel engine. Tons of torque, great fuel economy, super reliability, why not? Well, how about a lousy soundtrack, heavy weight, and ugly engine…. Still, I really like the craftsmanship and creativity that went into this bike.
Looks like from the movie set for Alien! Frank

Very creative. I like the style too. It reminds me of industrial tools from the post war period. The kind that tend to shock me when I use them.
I’ve been wanting to see a bike built around a mazda wankel forever. Got any of those?
Just google for Rodney Aguiar Revelation motorcycle. It’s a Mazda RX-7 Wankel powered piece of art!

I think that engine is a work of art as is the entire bike and that the author wouldn’t know what’s sexy if it tried to give him a BJ.
