It's great that they are building bikes, but has that engine just lobbed into a frame that was hanging around, possibly even made for a Harley? The mounting plates are huge and it looks a bit bodged in. Overall it looks OK, but more like a rolling test bed than a finished bike. Bet it sounds good though!

the first JAP in 101 years?
I know they were making engines well into the last century, but did they built complete bikes way back in the dim and distant?

Can't be hard to get 95bhp from a 1,000cc V twin nowadays.

I wonder if it would fit into something with a suspension and normal seating position with out being too tall. Looks like a fun engine in an agricultural Harley hay-day sort of way.
