what the hell are MERCH STAGE 3 engines? googles let me down  :(
those rookes bikes are ok, but have a kind of 'cobbled together' look. no improvement from the easyrider days. i always liked billy's bike, while everyone else goes for the 'captain america'.  In that kind of bike i prefer arlen ness stuff. they have such a homogeneous look. i think i would make a custom from several customs. the ness bikes usually have harley motors, which are a bit dinky looking (not to mention a tad underpowered) in such large bikes. maybe a ness with one o' those merch engines? or i recall a crazy aussie cutting off two cylinders from a rolls royce merlin to give him an approx. 5000cc v-twin!! now yer talkin'...

hmmmm, could MERCH mean merlin chop? hehe. just had a look at the dinah again. it's growing on me. the others still look cobbled together...

i completely forgot about Britten motorcycles. they were designed and built in new zealand. a total revolution in superbike design. it was thrashing bikes in several countries. the last win was in March 99 Sound of Thunder, Daytona.
  the guy did something that car engine designers do all the time. the engine is one casting, cylinders, crankcase and all. this makes it sturdy enough to just hang EVERYTHING off the engine. from the seat to the forks. also with such a solid yet light block you can coax more power out of it. sadly the guy died of cancer not so long ago so i don't know what will happen with the design  :(
