Drysdale V8 - Homebrew Aussie Eight

When it comes to motorcycle production, Australia is not usually the first country that comes to mind. Even neighbouring New Zealand, with legends like Burt Munro and John Britten, has a reputation for clever motorcycle engineering – but rarely do people think of unique bikes when they picture the Aussie landscape.

Shame, that – because one of the most fascinating motorcycles in the world was made in Australia. Enter the Drysdale V8, the pet project and hand-built marvel produced down under by an enthusiastic engineer/mechanic by the name of Ian Drysdale.
