They are nice, but GM had the design out 20 years ago.
It was called the Lean Machine and it did exactly what the Carver does. Only reasons it never went into production was because of low demand and it was, believe it or not, too fuel efficient - the design was shelved at the 'request' of the big oil companies.
there was one on display at the GM pavillion at Expo '86 in Vancouver BC

Hi Guys and Girls
Love to have one of those Carvers in my shed
(must build bigger and better shed).
Saw some photos a couple of years ago and damm near wet my pants. The Carvers where featured on a TV program here in Australia (Beyond Tomorrow) and the comments from non-motorcyclists that I know were in the realms of where can we get one.
Didn't win powerball last week so I cann't set up the Aus dealship. Bugger.
Just think of what a bigger (1000cc or so) engine would be like.
Regards
Fearless
