Chuck Beck’s Lamborghini Powered Motorcycle

This is Chuck Beck’s custom motorcycle powered by a Lamborghini V12. When we last wrote about it at a Caffeine and Octane meet in Alpharetta, Georgia it was bare and didn’t have the nicely painted body pieces. Many years ago Chuck was given the engine by a friend after his Lamborghini Espada caught fire and was totaled. The engine is now connected to a Volkswagen Type 3 transaxle and is geared to have a top speed of 140 mph. The radiator sits in the very back of the bike to keep as much heat away from Chuck while he controls the bike with custom linkage. Listen as Chuck explains the bike and how it came to be.
