Is it an MCD Nemesis engine? as manufactured by Melling Consultancy Design?

The sport-oriented Nemesis contains a 1500 cc V8 engine with a claimed 235 horsepower (175 kW) and 111 foot-pounds force (150 N·m) of torque.

is that a v8?


bilbo - 29/9/08 at 10:15 AM

I've just noticed, is that a second bank of cylinders under the air box?

Edited to say - Doh! to slow

Nice carpet


Jasper - 29/9/08 at 04:58 PM

Nope - but it's at the Motorcycle Museum next door to the NEC, I'm up there again in a couple of months so could take some more (we do shows at the venue quite regularly).

Yeah, that was Norton's problem. Period. They always tried to make bikes at the top end of the market, but should've made bread and butter bikes too.

Mike Tyson had a deposit on a Nemesis!
