Dual T-Bird / Sq 4 cylinder R 3 might be a bit over the top . But a watercooled 2400 would fit in nicely .
Transverse Cranks for minimlist power loos , and ease of supercharge drive . No Excressences to minimilise weight .

Could be quite compact . Dont want the little mongrels to stuff up the primary gear drive .

japanese copy . Left half the bits out !

Must need a kick in the teeth .
If they use the archaic British SIMPLICITY , they might just get away with it . As long as its got decent crankshafts in it ;

Probly more intrested in flea brain transformer ' motorcycles ' this century . Meglomania Bling stamped out zingers .



Lancia & the Matchles ( single crank ) must be recarded as the past masters or the pact .

Most likely so blinded by the marvels of modern tecnology that theyre incapable of a elementry STONG simplistic concept . no suppuflous impedia .
This bloke'd do as the ' consultant ' .

As Tuurner WAS Triumph , as we know it . " Dont increase unless it breaks THREE times " they arnt exactly surgical . in any respect .

Saw a 1200 beside a meridan 750 , Points for ' Heath Robinson ' in the chassis 10 /1 to hinkley .
two to four times as many pieces as it needs . Belt Braces & superglue besides . Where are they going .

This is a complete load of bovine excrement . The Componentry was built by and under the supervision of Len Perry . New Zealands Vincent H.R.D. Concessionaire .
The Heads Cams Mag & Carbs were built by the respective factorys specifically for this machine . The POWERPLANT of wich was ASSMBLED By Len Perry . SOULY .

Adjusting the points7 valves may be regared as ' tuning ' nevertheless . But as for having built the engine , a Mc Donalds Haggis & Tripe burger , please . " Oh , we dont seem to have those " .

In my totally uneducated personal opinion, I have always though the square 4 was an ideal layout for a motorcycle engine.

Irrespective of facts and physics, I’ve never seen this before, it looks the bollox !!

Around 45 years ago a mate told me of a car with two Ariel square 4 engines in
It was parked in a tumbling down garage with a tree growing in front
At the time I thought "yeah righto " scroll forward around 20 years and I was at the Battlesbridge classic bike and car show and what was there ! A bloody race car with two Ariel square 4 engines being driven around the field!!!
It was very hot and bothered,it was a very hot as I remember it
 
Agree on the layout but without forced air cooling or of course liquid cooling it seems doomed to failure. I drove a standard pushrod model and it was quite smooth.

Yes, to clarify I meant it’s an ideal layout for a modern engine, ie liquid cooled.
 
With Thoose ' Half engine ' economy experiments , where they shut cylinders down , Caddilac etc & Mercedes ,
With a Dual Crank four , with the starter on the other engine , you could loose the front one , If you used a
dual action connection , prelinminary friction to mate rpm before the dog locks it . If you wanted to be awkward .
