LittleD...ride that little scooter with the big engine? Not for long, and not sober.
Back in the mid to late '70's there was a fella that dragged Honda's and built big bore kits for the 750cc to either 850cc or 1000cc. His name was Russ Collins or Russ Collins engineering. One of his first employees was Terry Vance of motorcycle drag racing and parts fame. The top picture is of a triple 750cc scooter that I never saw until now. He wiped out on it and was nearly killed, and the scooter destroyed. The bottom picture though was of a twin 1000cc stroker that had a GMC 371 blower between them. Russ had a problem with it in that it was chain driven and he kept breaking chains on the launch. He said that once he hit 200 MPH, he'd retire and retire it. He made the move from a triple row chain to a shaft and clicked off a 199 MPH run. In the 1970's, that was blazing fast. I wouldn't have ridden either of them either.
