Viv swapped a pillar drill for a Blackburn Beverley aircraft auxiliary engine many years ago, on visiting The Bike Shed show he knew he had to build a custom motorcycle around the engine. Building the entire bike from hand, and with all period design and manufacturing, this incredible machine has taken 400 hours to build. The attention to detail of this V Moto bike is exceptional.
For those who love to hear the motorcycles we feature start up, hang in there on this one.. it's gonna come in a future video. With it not being run in over half a century, Viv's next part of the project is to check over the engine and make sure it's all in good working order. With only 80 of these ever being made, as you can imagine spare parts are pretty hard to come by. We certainly don't want him to blow the engine until he's sure it's in fine running order.
Nobody want's to hear the V4 roar into life again more than Viv himself, so please be patient with this one.
