Looks like a wild bit of engineering! I'm always amazed when I see something like this actually being ridden.
A Brit named Allen Milyard does something similar. He takes, for instance, two four cylinder motors and transforms them into an inline seven cylinder. He mostly uses hand tools, hacksaws and files as much as he can. He built a five cylinder Suzuki at a three day motorcycle show and had it running before the show was over.
Check out this innovative mountain bike he built:

All of these remind me of the Boss Hoss Chevy 350 motorcycles that have been around forever. A friend asked me the other day about one of those and had I ridden on one. Admittedly I have not. Yet, I do not feel any real desire to either.
Sure the HP has to be incredible, but really, other than going 0-60 or 160 in a straight line REALLY quick, what good would one fo those really be? For meif all I want is jerk a knot in my tail, feel the seat try to pull through my spinal cord accelleration, well, I have an 84 Cutlass with a 502 Ramjet that does that for me when I want it. I guess I just do not get the point of doing it just because you can.
Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.
