---48 Cylinder Motorcycle--- This is said not to be a "Photoshop" job....said to be real. As always the question is, "Why?". From the yamaha-rd forum: "Each motor is basically 8 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.The bike has a small 75cc "Donkey" engine under the seat to start it. The ignition is by 6 x 8cyl E-Type Jaguar distributers. The engine and box alone weight just over a ton!

is that a 48 cylinder 2 stroke? must make quite a racket, not to mention the smoke cloud. | ||

Why? Because too much is never enough...or... Mine is bigger than yours. Fullpower, when it's started up it probably looks like there's a Mosquito Abatement Convention in the area. Glenn | ||

ha ha ha bigger is better, eh? It should be pretty stable on the highway with that wheelbase. Throw on a set of saddlebags, and your ready to go! | ||

I have a video clip of it running but cannot remember the link, I can email it to anyone who wants it. | ||

Fuck knows how much juice that thing burns, but looking at the size of the tank, you ain't going far on it. I'd want a set of heat shields for my knees too! Nonetheless I think it's great that someone's done it "just because they can". Thats what I call a spirit of adventure.  | ||

The way 2 strokes foul plugs, can you imagine? And some of you thought Buells were high maintenance. edited by sportsman on January 15, 2004 | ||
