How about stuffing a Ducati V4 under the Grom tank?

I admire the "cool factor" as well as his technical expertise for even pulling it off ,but the end result would have been unridable to any real degree even had it not burned up in the fuel fire.That kind of HP would have reduced the frame and swingarm into a twisted mess the first time it hooked up hard, had that ever been even possible - i think 250-300cc is about all you can put in a Grom and produce any result approaching practical use .

Still, i got to give him credit for the engineering and sheer insanity of it, i'm still glad it was his money and not mine tho lol .
