The Bohemian Custom Motorcycle Show in Czechia ( Czech Republic ) is part of the Prague Motorcycle Exhibition ( Motocykl Praha ) held in March . There were two halls hosting the custom market and builders - with some well-known ' AMD stars ' of prior AMD World Championships present - including innovators such as Pavel Malanik and Tomas Pitlik , who presented some incredible new builds at the Bohemian . It came as no surprise that Pavel won ' Best of Show ' with his completely selfbuilt J . A . P . V8 motorcycle , a stunning piece of engineering and craftsmanship . Another mind-blowing bike was Marek Foltis ' ten-cylinder Jawa called ' Bistella '. The Czech law states that you are allowed to alter one major part of your motorcycle as long as the rest of the bike still fits to that part , so you can change the engine , which Marek did , but it still had to fit in the original frame . How young builder Marek did just that is nothing short of a miracle … he built a ten-cylinder , two-stroke engine that fits perfectly in the stock frame . Ten cylinders ! And so well designed , such ingenuity and precision craftsmanship .

A huge technical challenge , but he managed to solve all problems and made it into a perfect running , well , ' screaming ' engine that does an easy 10,000 rpm ! Both men rolled out their bikes to admiring gasps of astonishment and applause . Marek ' s ' Bistella ' fired up with just one kick . Starting Pavel ' s V8 is a little more complex , requiring an external starter , but it too runs like a dream , with all the ' internals ' now ' externals ', it is a work of engineering art - poetic in its synchronous motion , harmonious in its sound - steam punk meets precision . Then came Tomas with his crazy ' trike ' - very appropriately named ' Eczentric ' - as nothing seems to be in the right place , but still it runs , powered by a 1938 CZ 175 cc engine !
