That V12 is quite remarkable, some engineering gone in to that, well done.

Thee Viper is worth seeing and hearing in the flesh. He's a Thatcham boy Mowjoe.

The viper sounds awesome. He visits his mate who lives 4 doors down our street so I have to go and have a nosey!! He's also been around on the 2300 a few years ago but wouldn't let me ride it!

Allen Millyard has also built a V8 Z1A and converted every one of the Kawasaki triples to 5 cylinder versions and a H**** 50 into a 100 V twin,

He is genius

Interestingly, I asked Allen why the V2300 wasn't a V2600 and the V1600 not a V1800 and he said it was down to the way he had to weld the con rods of the new bank onto the big ends of the existing con rods give a shorter stroke on the new bank so less cc. (I think that's what he said!!)

I asked Allen the same question with the same answer.

The guy is an Engineering Wizard!!!

Er: You mean V shaped con rods? How the ell does that work :??

A very clever man indeed!

There is 2 slimmed down con-rods on each big end crank pin with Z650 pistons in specially adapted liners which accounts for 1600cc.
