Video of the Week: 48-Cylinder Motorcycle!


Video of the Week: 48-Cylinder Motorcycle!

We have to thank BangShift.com forum member Kris for the hot tip on what is most definitely the wildest motorcycle we have ever seen. This freaking thing has 48 cylinders.

It looked like a Photoshop job when we first saw the still photos of the bike, but then there was this video of the thing running and it’s undeniable: the damn thing is real.

The engines are a bunch of KH250s linked together and power is transferred through a BMW gearboox. The ignition is handled by multiple Jaguar distributors, and it uses a 75cc pony engine mounted under the seat to start the big motor.

The guy who built it is not an engineer, but apparently works as a construction site supervisor. We think he’s an evil genius. This is one of the wilder things we have ever seen.
