---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.

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!

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.
