YIPPI SKIPPI!!! Please post a sound video when it fires! Bet that baby rattles the dishes for a block in every direction.
Looks like it'll seriously wheelie way too easily.

Aren't those KZ-1000 fours? like on the CHUMP....er...CHIPS bikes, the second bike is a 750 three holer, a very frightening bike to ride they were like a sawed off shotgun you never knew where it was going when you pulled the trigger but you knew it was going to happen fast and probably not result in a happy ending.

I think an adaptation of the 1000 4 is whats used in the little Legends jalopy look-a-like race cars.



The Legends series is based solely on the Yamaha FJ1200, four cylinder, four stroke, about 120 hp at the crank in stock config.

It would be a lot louder running twin shotguns instead of 2 into 1,is he going to run it with a 'snuffy' installed?

That's the only pic he's released of the finished bike. I think it's being kept *secretish* until a bike show in the near future. More pics when they are available :)

New pic today:

Caption was:

"Full retard ignition, mixture set to rich, oil on, petrol on, 2 turns of the cranking lever then contact, a 2ft flame shot out of the fishtail with a bang reminiscent of a ships cannon. The Flying Millyard sat there idling around 200 RPM. All systems are go for Salon Privé"
