The Musket 998 V-Twin

Talk about needful things.  The Musket V-Twin is the creation of Aniket Vardhan, an industrial designed from New Delhi who is now living, working, and teaching at an art design college in Columbus, Ohio.  The Musket 998 was created by fabricating a V-Twin from two Bullet 500 top ends.  The test machine is based on a 2002 Bullet that has only been stretched 2.3 inches to accept the new engine.  It is, without a doubt, a thing of beauty.

Aniket is working on creating a beta model right now with the possibility of going into production soon.  This would be a fantastic thing for Royal Enfield aficionados.  If he can get this thing into production, I know my name will be on the list.

Check out his website to see more pictures of the 998 and his other test bike, the Musket 700, based on the 350 engine.  Also keep an eye on his blog for future developments.  I sincerely hope that he is successful because I would dearly love to have one of these things.  Best of luck to him!
