Motorcycle Mutt: What Happens When You Cross an Alfa Romeo With a Bobber
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.
But what’s especially trick about this high-powered one-off is the way everything comes together, from the four downdraft Weber carbs protruding upward through the tank to the six counterintuitively small diameter, four foot-long exhaust pipes.
Wouldn’t this baby make a sweet alternative to the plus-sized, super-powered Boss Hoss V8?
