the best bike engine donor

just stumbled across this rather tasty bike
200bhp and 167nm of torque, would make a rather good engine donor

Suprised no one has used the original vmax engine in a car, very torquey and shaft drive.

Also had what yamaha called v-boost, two carbs feeding each cylinder at high revs...

Wasn't that engine used in the Badsey Bullet 3 wheeler?
