That's an interesting engine for a change.
For one point: who built it, or the whole motorbike? Describe the characteristics of the engine! From when to when was the motorbike built?

Yes, it is a Galbusera. Locked for you. Please describe the characteristics of the engine and tell the production period.

Sorry to interfere again, but the great curiosity about Marama Toyo's drive-train concept was, that he used two V4-engines on either end (rotating in different direction), supporting the gearbox in between them!

Richards remark "Siamesed V8" I have interpreted accordingly.

Does "Siamesed V8" automatically and exclusively mean that the gearbox is in between the two engines?

Of course not, but the combination of two V4-engines.
