Looks more like an engine on 2 wheels to me

[Seeker]

looks great, but that ehxaust will kill the engines.

[Mark Luper]

That looks like a two stroke to me. Do you have any more info on it TPI?

[Furball]

wheels are too thin

[Nilsen]

Does not look very practical

[capt. apathy]

cool, a self propelled engine-stand.  bet it beats the hell out of manually draging them around the shop

[GRUNHERZ]

I cant belive this is serious.... BTW notice how the coolling fins are not aligned with the airflow...

[capt. apathy]

the engine(s?) might not originaly been designed for that aplication.

[Roscoroo]

so he married a hole pile of 2 strokes together .... it probely runs but id say from looking at the carb size and set up , along with the fact that it doesnt have a tuned exhaust pipe for the frequency of a two stroke (The pipe chamber controls the power band ) each bank probly has to fire at the same time .... and with say what looks like 6  44 mikuni's for carbs that wont even be close to enough fuel/ air for it. (they look like 750 kawi jugs in the pic)

And by the way were's the shaft or the chain ???? its kinda hard to see one in the pics ..... take note of the small boxed swing arm.

"For display purposes only?" Think so. Also think the guys standing close to it in the first pic have something odd about them too.

Could also be old twin suzuki 500 jugs

You are right about the pipes not being "tuned" and the carbs being less than the ideal setup but I think it would still run ok, just not make as much power as it could otherwise.

The picture of the right hand side "appears" to show some kind of in line drive device for the rear wheel. I would just hate to blip the throttle on it, the torque might make spin...

[Roscoroo]

all i can see from the pic is on the right hand side is a boxed arm .... no chain visable either ... id need to see a pic from the right hand rear angle to be shure ... as for what the jugs are thats kinda hard to tell  i was just guessing ...    (my ex had a nice set of 36c jugs that looked like those  )

they could even be yamaha jugs  (not square enough to match my rd 350 though and the ports are wrong)

what i really wonder is how he timed  each bank ... and how smooth it may actually run.

I think the E48E and E42E designates the engine arrangement. Just a guess.
