    Is that V twin home made? Anyone know anything about these bikes? Engine kind of looks a bit like a Rotax...

    I would guess that is an early version of the Swedish Highland engine ... not positive though.

    This engine was constructed and built for Sidecar MX racing in a small serie. Made by a Nils Hedlund 77 year old and still going strong.

    2 valve SOHC engine of 980cc. 89 x 63 if memory serves. Bathtub head with central plug. Built originally for sidecar MX. Usually run with a Norton g/box. About 40 were constructed, late '70's early '80's.
    I built one into a BoTT racer in the UK - not reliable at constant high RPM !!
