Honda CB350 + CB350 + 1979 BMW R65 = V8-R65

Amazing.  And beautiful.

Probably already seen by most of you.  I did a search here for V8 and nothing came up so I don't know if it was posted.  It's actually less than half a BMW in the end, but it's a little 694cc homemade V8 transplanted into the body of a 1979 R65.

We do have a thread on that somewhere around here - but it DOES sound so very good, doesn't it !?   Certainly a very talented machinist!

I hope they beefed up the frame. They must have.
