Roger Goldammer’s stunning Nortorious supercharged single café racer and the Experimental two-stroke 250 broke from endless, monotonous stream of American v-twin choppers by using engines you’d never dream of.
The Nortorious used half of a Harley-style air-cooled twin to create a 965cc single. Just to make the one-off motor more interesting, a supercharger was piggy-backed onto cylinder to give the bike 80bhp. The mental motor was then shoe-horned into a frame design based around a 50 year-old Norton, complete with drum brakes!
The Experimental is an earlier Goldammer project, and uses less one-off parts, but the result was just as outstanding. A modified Honda CR250R frame holds a BRC two-stroke parallel twin go-kart engine. The geometry is long and low, with minimalist and unique bodywork. The finished bike was later timed at the Bonneville Salt Flats, reaching an impressive 128mph! (204km/h).
