48 Cylinder Bike

Fiky · 08-09-2005, 11:28 PM

It's old, but again this is for the people who haven't seen it yet.

Quote:

"Each motor is basically 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, as the bike is pretty long already it would be difficult to put a transverse drive thru a gearbox. It has taken almost three years of hard work and he has overcome some huge problems to get here - - where do you even start to think about building a bike like this? . . . Oh, by the way, Simon is not an engineer of any kind - he oversees the building of shopping precincts etc

Don't look at it as a bike, look at it as a pure feat of engineering . . . and Simon built a Nitrous injected, fuel injected, water cooled, supercharged H1 about 5 years ago! . . . . How will he top this one? He can't - WHO CAN? I think as you say, his next project may be reverting back to a small engine and gaining the maximum horsepower from it

"The bike has a small 75cc "Donkey" engine undr the seat to start it."

"The ignition is by 6 x 8cyl E-Type Jaguar distributers."

"Oh, and not only does it run - but it is rideable - JUST! - the engine and box alone weight just over a ton! "

The only person who would look proportionate to that bike is Ronnie Coleman.

lol..that thing is fugged up! Pretty useless IMHO, I liked that terminator bike with the Viper engine from a few years back. That was bad ass! :ranch:

Useless and you could not actually ride it.

Knees are on the header... not gonna work.
WAY to top heavy making slow turns next to impossible and turns at speed to wobbly.
And it would get negative miles per gallon which is why it's listed as reliable it's 2 mile rides between fill ups do not allow for things to ware out .. lol

Dan · 08-10-2005, 02:57 PM

One more thing if it is so reliable why does it come with a fire extinguisher?
