In the BFG-club-magazine was this article about another car-engine powered motorcycle: the shifty .
The abarth-version of this 127 Seat/Fiat engine had 70 Horsepower. Not bad for an eighties bike.
You could buy the empty motorbike-frame and "shift" your engine from your car to your bike, if weather permitted !
