The V8 (and his V12 Z1300 based thingy) are in the Barber museum in Birmingham Alabama. I did some photo's for Allen when I was there.
He was telling me they rang him up & asked if he wanted to sell the V8, he said no. A figure was mentioned, he asked how they wanted it crating up...

Way way nicer than the Z1300. Sounds awesome. He is the Steven hawking of the motorcycle world 🤣 I can not help but think of family guy Steven Hawkin sketch , but yes agree extremely skilled man.

I saw that video of the V8 as well and was blown away by the things he machined from solid metal to create what he needed. Watching him machine new cages for the smaller needle rollers was just amazing. The fact his creations look much like the standard bike when he is finished, is a great final touch. Especially when I heard that the only thing that is done outside of his garage is the paintwork. 'Genius' doesn't do him justice.

I'd like him if he would just stop saying 'man' every three seconds.

You wouldn’t think a man so clever would knock about with Henry Cole if there was ever a person that deserved a smack in the face its henry cole ; irritating t**t Henry Cole..smack in the face?? Thats nothing new... As for Mr Millyard...someone needs to commission him to put a 4 cyl snowmobile engine onto a bike gearbox, and stick it in something that I can reach the ground on with sit up and beg old superbike style.

Really enjoyed watching Mr Millyard's videos on Youtube. His work insn't actually rocket science (real quite simple bloke in his shed stuff) but the quality and end product is truely outstanding!(stating obvious!!!) Never been into "hybrids" or previous owner "projects" but anything by Mr Millyard or N. Kimber I'd re-mortgage the house for..

I would like to ride his 500cc Kawasaki twin. "Made from leftovers", I think it is a better bike than a Suzuki T500.
