    VM Motori is a well known manufacturer of small passenger care diesel engines in Europe. The engine in the Jeep Liberty CRD was a VM Motori engine that would have been excellent had not Chrysler burdened it with an exhaust recirculation system that choked the intake with soot over time.

    Diggin' the retro chro mo swing arm.

    Nice pricey billet machined cases there. Ouch!

    Does the word trick come to mind? KA Ching!

    I would say yes.

    Is the cylinder and the rest of the top end Yamaha?

    Frames billet side plates and trussed tube Exoskeleton frames fabrication are a work of art. Absolutely Beautiful. Not anything like a damned Cookie Cutter production bike, I dig it.

    Give me more!

    Nope, VM Motor (Czecho) is not VM Motori (Italian). VM Motor builds kart engines like TM in Italy. www.vmmotor.com
