The trouble with bikes is that your engine has to somehow fit between your legs. Fine if you've got a compact little four-cylinder. But if you fancy stuffing a V10 in the frame, you'll have to have spread your legs wider than an elephant jockey.
Which is exactly what you'll have to do to get astride this Millyard. Because between your thighs rests an enormous 8.0-litre V10 from a Viper. So you sit right on top of 500bhp and have to lean forward over the expansive engine and fuel tank just to reach the bars.
Watch the Millyard Viper V10 in action in this YouTube clip from Motor Cycle News:
What other examples of massive car engines being wedged into small, non-car objects have you seen? We're always suckers for this brilliant V8 chainsaw clip. Heck yeah...

Compensating for a small man-tool perhaps?

The problem with bike like these, other than the massive weight and ridiculous handling, is that when you mount an engine laterally, the crank shaft tends to tilt the motorcycle.

No way I would ever ride this. Look at how close his knees are to the cylinder head, valve cover, and header pipe. Not to mention that reach looks very uncomfortable, and holding that bike up when you stop at a light would be very difficult indeed. Impractical and stupid. If you want a Viper bike, find yourself a Tomahawk. Oh, I guess there's only one of those, eh?

Well I have done over 300 miles on A and B roads at speeds up to 160mph (on a runway) and my legs still work and are not cooked! When you ride the bike it feels normal once moving and is remarkably good in corners, and second to none down the straight! The chicken strips on the Avon Venom tyres are barely 10mm wide. Oh by the way the 10 owners of Dodge Tomaharks are legally bound never to attempt to ride them!
