Ever wonder what a CBX-V12 might look like?

Fuel injection?

I was just playing around and didn't imagine that someone has actually done it.

On my imaginary V12 the rear bank exhaust is ported through the cylinders and out the same exhaust as the front. The down-pipes would be increased in diameter to handle the increased flow with each twin muffler handling three pipes. With battery technology what it is a much smaller one would leave room for a fuel injection system and compact intake filter.

interesting. More like an Alan Milyard creation. His resemble stock bikes, just with more cylinders.

I wanted to weigh in one more time to make sure readers know this isn't a real conversion but a Photoshop modification of the picture. I told my son, the C.A.D. (Computer Architectural Drawer), that I was going to design a V12 and got the impression that he thought I couldn't do it. At first I thought the overall bike would need to be stretched to make room but after tilting the engine forward everything fell right into place. Anyway, I wouldn't have either the capital or technical know-how to pull something like this off and at least wanted a picture to look at and share with the community. I hope I didn't tick anyone off thinking it might possibly be the real thing.....I WISH IT WAS!!!
