Cornering looks to be a bit .. uh .. limited

I've seen a V6 Kawasaki stroker at the Isle of Man, many times over the years. It's really subtle, as one bank is hidden behind the other you could walk right past and not notice it. Unlike the straight seven above.

Did anyone ever create a V6 "GT1500" with two top ends on a common crankcase like a Mercruiser?

The engine on the pic paul posted is a 48 cylinder built bt chris applebee using kh250 cylinders and all the rest his own work

This bike was actually built by a friend of mine, Simon Whitelock. It has never been ridded as it weighs about a ton (2000 lbs.)
It uses a small 2 stroke motor to start it.

An engineer/sidecar racer guy that I bought my ported barrells from way back in 79 or 80, was working on a thousand, four, stroker for his outfit. He simply joined another crank and barrells to the end of the existing motor, with some sort of top hat arrangement. Sadly I have no pictures, but he was really quite successful at our local twisty circuit on his 500 powered outfit. Unfortunately the thousand was unreliable, as the 2 motors kept pulling apart. He couldn't make a strong enough union.

Does this help?

The pictures are definitely taken at a show in this country......

I suppose what I was thinking of when I first posted this, was 'successful' in the sense of this guy built this, and then had many wins at the track racing it. Some of the other examples others have posted are clever, even brilliant examples of engineering, but not really too practical. More 'objet d'art' than anything else - and/or are not Suzuki.

I've seen a number of photos of 4 and more cylinder Suzuki GT750 variants, but always have assumed them to be photo shopped - does anyone know of any real ones ?

...does anyone know of any real ones ?

I gather the answer is 'no' ?
