That is Fantastic!
I'm guessing there is a rad mounted horizontally above the rear wheel.
What does it use for primary drive between the flywheel and the (presumaebly) bike gearbox? Have you a photo of the other side?
I bet that goes like the clappers too.

Gods teeth I`ll bet that rascal will climb hills, dont see a towbar though, it would probably get away with two gears.

Yeah, and why is there a spring rather than a sphere ?

Interesting transmission - he's had to turn the engine round in effect so must be some form of gearbox.
Doesn't that sump look the part with a flat bottom!
Must be interesting to ride and even to listen to with max revs below idle for some bikes!

This bothers me. I've ridden big BMW tourers that i can hardly hold up with my spindly legs, I've ridden an enfield bullet converted to a robin diesel generator engine and I've even driven BX's diesel and otherwise. But this bothers me, someone is mad, does he have a munch mammoth as his other bike ?? (hands up who knows what a munch mammoth is)

(hands up who knows what a munch mammoth is)
In my experience usually ridden by germans/dutch with worrying moustaches!!!!!

Well the modern day Munch Mammoth is a beast of a bike. [:D]
Two litre turbocharged engine with 260bhp, with acceleration quoted as "Oh my God" in this link. [8D]

Correct in both cases guys (but i was thinking of the original one guys)
And as i said the BX engined think worries me.

What a monster[:0], and no doubt the BL fans amongst us will recall one of its ancestors, the equally enormous Austell-

I found it last night. I just put Citroen BX in Google and it brought up over 4000 pictures, this was in with them. Knowing how heavy the XUD is, I wouldn't want to drop it and then have to set it back again!
