      Millyard's not actually restoring this monstrosity of a bike, he's just making it ride-able, the finish of the alloy & Magnesium parts is rough as a bears arse to say the least.
      It's not a Norton really, it's a car motor in a prototype frame that was never going to see production as it was poorly designed in several areas, take a look at how the front wheel & brakes are designed, crazy ideas that barely work in reality.

      It's a pleasure to watch Allen work on it, but the fact that it's so difficult to work on that they need to send it to someone like him in the first place shows the fundamental problem with the design.

    Watching Allen Millyard's videos on restoring this beast and man the further he digs into it the more it looks like it was put together by a high school shop class.

      Glad I'm not the only one that has his jaw dropping when seeing some of the "cutting edge" work done on this machine, some design aspects appear terrible but were probably the results of various constraints. As a result, the bike is a prototype with a ton of bugs that would have needed ironing out. Bold idea not terribly well executed.

    290HP? I don't think so. Lets assume it's two 750 fours, one of the best 750 fours in 1998 was the brand new GSXR750 'SRAD' . . bore and stroke almost identical to the Nemesis, 11.8:1 compression and 120 actual HP with a pipe (it did NOT make 137HP as advertised) and this was achieved at 12,500rpm, right at the limit of what a road 750 could rev too at the time. So 240 HP would be believable, it will be interesting if Allen Millyard puts the rebuilt Nemesis on the dyno.

    Can't wait to see Allen Millyard complete the restoration. If ever there was the right man to do it - he's the one. The bike is interesting but clearly a prototype, with bits cobbled together in places. The engine appears barely used, so Millyard should be able to get it running. I'd bet good money it doesn't remotely approach 290 bhp nor 225 mph. Finally, I'm guessing it will not be road tested under proper condition; best to leave some questions unanswered.

    You forgot to mention Al’s other motor cycle creations the 2500cc and I think the other is either 3500 or 4000cc. Insane VTwins They are sat in a friends garage so i could check.
    I think you’re being a bit hard on Al Melling he created mental things in what’s now a boreing world of bikes. It’s all about safety economy and it’s all for your own good. Have you seen new motorcycles not surprised they aren’t selling. I say good on
    Al Melling.

    Wonderful engineering but for a fast bike a 4 cylinder is enough, considering how ridiculously fast these things are.
    A V8 could make sense for cruising, like a Boss Hoss...

    There is NOTHING to compare with the Japanese machine ! ............ .Not even a 10 ft. long wiring harness the Nemesis carries.
    Hopefully the Suzuki parts will be useful !
