Starck

Some better images of the Starck / Boxer Design W800. It's a decent looking bike but I'm not crazy about the paint job and especially not the graphics. Via.

Perfect Skin

2 x 6

The Sbarro Super Twelve. Powered by two Kawasaki Z1300 engines. To quote Sbarro "This unusual power-plant is actually made from two 6 cylinder 1300cc Kawasaki motorcycle engines. Each retains its own 5 speed gearbox and a special linkage system allows the boxes to be operated synchronously with a single gear lever. Each engine drives only one wheel and is connected to the other engine by v-belts: This minimizes variations in engine speed. The car can be run on one engine in case of mechanical difficulties." Like the gradient paintwork, perhaps influenced by Paul Bracq's Turbo concept?

Box of fun

From the 1970 Popular Science article about this all-wheel drive and steer Box:

"With the two-stroke, 500cc, 60-hp Kawasaki engine, The Box will top 100 mph and do the standing quarter in 13.5 seconds at 95-mph terminal speed! A four-stroke LaVerda (!) engine is now being tested."

Was it an amphibious vehicle as well?

UR-Monkee

The distinctive style of Wrenchmonkees, black and dark earthy colors, matt or semi-gloss surfaces and no excessive ornamentation has become quite iconic. Looking through old magazines, as you do during a christmas break, I re-discovered the Z750GT from '82. Wouldn't look out of place as an army courier bike except for some fancy gold detailing. The GT looks like the spiritual forefather of the Monkee #20.
