This 125cc V10 Engine Is A Hand-Crafted Marvel

This miniature, working V10 was lovingly built over a period spanning nearly three years, and it's exquisite

Most 125cc engines we see are single-cylinder units in entry-level motorbikes, but what you see here is no ordinary 125. It’s a hand-crafted V10, with sequential fuel injection, dry-sump lubrication and a triple-plate clutch, and yes, it runs. It runs rather beautifully, in fact.

There’s an extensive build thread for the project, which is shown to span nearly three years, and include a substantial amount of machining. The attention to detail here is - as you’d expect - incredibly thorough.

If you had such a thing in your garage, what would you stick it in?

Three years to make? This is why you don’t get American construction workers to make anything

So, what’s your point? Ken Imhoff took 17 years to build a 1982 Lamborghini Countach LP5000S replica. It’s the difference between “doing it as a hobby” and “doing it as a job”. If that was his 9-to-5, It would’ve been done in a matter of a month.
