Well, a mate in USA decided to share this with me, and i didn't know whether to post it here or in the jokes and funnies section LOL, cause it is rather on the weird and funny side............a 48 cylinder 4200cc........road bike :eek: LOL. some people have weird and wonderfull emaginations.......and the insanity to actually create their thoughts :p
Some interesting info on this beast:
Each Engine is basically a 8 "s1 /KH250" cylinders bolted on to cut up standard casings, with a 8 cyl built up crank, in turn they are bolted to a housing, gear linked and driven thru a BMW road bike gearbox. It has takin the owner over 3 years to build it.
It has a small 75cc "Donkey" engine under the seat to start it.
The ignition is by 6 x 8cyl E-Type Jaguar distributers,
and not only does it run - but it is rideable - JUST! - the engine and box alone weight just over a ton!
And before i start with the handfull of pics.........have a vid of this beast starting and running. Pitty he doesn't jump on and show us all how it cruises:()
