The guy in the pics had built his own monster truck some years previously before selling the chassis but keeping the whopping 8.2-litre Mopar V8 engine. Lacking the space to build another truck, he decided that the ideal home for the supercharged powerplant would be a two-wheeler. called the Rapom V8. The result is the most powerful road legal motorbike in Britain with between 1000 and 1200 bhp depending on the boost from the Littlefield supercharger. The Rapom consumes a gallon of pure alcohol every four miles.
The frame is constructed from massive 3cm thick steel tubing & is extra long to prevent the bike flipping over under hard acceleration and as it tips the scales at 1000 lbs, a reverse gear is needed for manoeuvring. With such a surfeit of power, just two forward gears are needed in the API racing transmission. Stopping power provided by racing brakes gripped by six-piston callipers.
