Let's Talk Cyclecars

For Fred

 

Thanks for that. I didn't have that one.

 

Now I have always loved cyclecars but I don't think any self respecting gentleman would be caught dead in one of those!!

This came up in a search for something I was researching.

What engine is that? It looks like a Honda CX500 or 650. Those are popular with JZR 3 wheel kit cars from the UK. I built one of those with a MotoGuzzi 1000 engine.

 

Yes, Honda CX. Don't know the size.

 

You are correct sir, CX500.

 

CX500: you'd know those weird-angled heads anywhere.

 

The valve covers look like the CX650 in my JZR.

Double Twin JAP. I'll be looking for sound on YouTube. I'll bet it's pretty mean. Mike

 

I would think that would be totally impractical. Too much weight cantilevered in front takes weight off the rear wheel. I'm guessing it is a made up photo.

 

anyways....the motor is just set in front of the mounted engine,not bolted in at all...I think there are other images where you can see the block on the floor supporting the engine. Do they have April Fools day in England?

I should have read the comments too, before I passed it on. It does look like maybe it's could be a mock up, the exhaust fits together pretty well. Do look at the Facebook page, this isn't the oddest thing there. Mike

 

Hmmm,,,

 

This was done a few years back.....long before it hit FB recently. The gent who pulled it off is into Morgans and JAPs.

 

The facebook page was great!!
