Alfa Romeo Motorcycle
Here's a two-wheeled curiosity from the mechanical island of Dr. Moreau: Crossbreed Cycles took the heart of a 1970s era Alfa Romeo-- in this case, an all-aluminum 2.5 liter V6 that churns out a reported 156 horsepower-- and shoehorned it into a hardtail Kraftec frame, hooking it up to a four-speed Harley gearbox and Kawasaki ZXR 750-sourced forks and brakes. Its name? Why, Alfabeast, of course.

Wouldn't this baby make a sweet alternative to the plus-sized, super-powered Boss Hoss V8?
