I can't clam to know for sure, I didn't build the thing, but from the 
lack of obvious valves, I would say 2 stroke. From the thinness of the 
fuel line to the heads, it might be fuel-injected also.

Ok, its missing some parts still...

It is fuel injection.  It's supposed to be 4 stroke, but I still need to
make push-rods and rocker covers (which means changing the heads, so I've
resisted since I think the heads look cool).  And 2 stroke has more torque
so maybe the way to go...

Also needs battery, electric starter and a distributor of some kind (right
now spark plug wires are coming out of a coil not connected to anything),
gas tank, fuel lines & filters, a gauge panel (oil pres, temp & tach), a
throttle (I'm leaning toward making the handlebars more motorcycle style
with the throttle handgrip) and cables.

Still haven't decided how to use it so ideas & suggestions welcome!
