    Does that mean the oil stays inside?

    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?

    They'll be aiming it at the Yanks and, over there, bobbers is where it's at ... man.

    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.
