More on Musket V-Twin

From the Columbus Dispatch, an article and video on Aniket Vardhan and his Musket V-Twin.

Nothing really new but a good article none the less.  I hope he can make a living making these things because I for one would love to own a Musket.

The Musket V-Twin is Available!

You might have seen the Musket V-Twin around the web or you might have read the blog entry here last June and now you may be able to own the thing.

It is finally in production and the order form can be found here.  Aniket Vardhan, the maker, has six motors available which can be had as a kit for your own work or can be added to your donor bike by him.

Prices range from $5990 for the engine kit to $13,750 (plus whatever upgrades might be necessary for the donor bike) for a completed top end bike.  I sure would love one of these but I don't see that happening any time soon.

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!
