I think the first commercially produced one was the 'Boss Hoss'. no gears just a throttle and a clutch. No one seemed to know what the to0p speed was as they all lost their bottle at 170mph and "it was still accelerating like a bastard" as one guy put it.
I seem to remember that there is one in the UK but the insurance was something like £30k p.a. and he had to pay the first £15k of any claim.

Ah! Norton Featherbed, perhaps it would be easier to name the engines that were NOT grafted into it?

I pulled into a petrol station near me one and this thing pulled in behind me:



Viper V10 with a wheel at each end! And it gets properly ridden....
