A little background for those that don't know much about the Rolls Royce Merlin

The Rolls-Royce Merlin was a liquid cooled 27 litre (1649 in3) 60° V12 piston aircraft engine which became famous in World War II. A British engineering icon [1], several versions of the Merlin were built by Rolls-Royce (in Derby, Crewe and Glasgow)[2] by Ford of Britain (in Trafford Park, Manchester)[3] and in the United States as the Packard V-1650.[4] They are widely considered to be among the most successful aircraft engines produced during World War II.
The name 'Merlin' comes from a type of small falcon, in line with the convention Rolls-Royce used in naming its other piston aero-engines, and has no connection to King Arthur's legendary magician.
The engine started off producing 890hp with the most powerful varient producing 1710hp.

Anyway to the motorcycle, a bloke by the name of Lucky Keizer found a Merlin and lopped off 2 cylinders to make a 5 litre V Twin and stuck it in a motorcycle frame and here is the result



It started off as a drag bike and ended up as a land speed record bike (below)
