A Lamborghini V12 In a Motorcycle?

When it comes to anything related to automobiles, humans have not left any stone unturned and some of these ideas are completely bonkers.

    When it comes to anything related to automobiles, humans have not left any stone unturned and some of these ideas are completely bonkers. I am sure that about 40 years ago, no one would have come up with the idea of putting the engine of a motorbike in a car but well now there are several. In fact even VW has done it with the XL Sport. But what if things were the other way around?

    Is putting an engine belonging to a car; on a motorbike unheard of? It might not be but a V12 on a bike? Never! We all know about Lamborghinis tryst with V12s. Up until the Aventador was launched, Lamborghini improved on the same 60-degree quad-cam V12 Bizzarini designed in the early 60s, which went from 3.5 to 4.0, 6.2 and 6.5 liters, with a significant change in power from 274 to 670 hp. So, understandably, one would have to be absolutely bonkers to put one on a bike. But well, the world is made up of all sorts of people.

    This crazy thing showed up at Cars and Coffee Alpharetta, GA, and we can imagine how people just ran to this monster as the V12 was verbose in trumpeting its own tune. The six carburetors and the throttle bodies look absolutely impressive and the handle bar in the middle of the bike is maddening. But can one ride it?

    Frankly, who cares! I would give a million bucks just to sit on it, start the engine and give it a good roar. At the end of the day, it is a Lamborghini, right?
