Twin-engine bikes have been built for drag-racing, but this 24-engined bike is unique.

The "Dolmette" 24-engine motorcycle: 2004.
This 4-meter-long motorcycle was constructed by German comic writer Roetger Feldmann, ("Broesel") and is powered by no less than 24 chain-saw engines coupled together. It is called "Dolmette", as its 24 single-cylinder two-stroke engines are taken from Dolmar PS7900 chain-saws. The result is a total of 1900cc, and 170 HP at 15,000 rpm or 260 km/hr. (161 mph) Whether the bike has actually travelled at that speed is currently unknown. It has a Harley-Davidson 5-speed transmission.


274424 The The "Dolmette" 24-engine motorcycle: 2004.
German comic writer Roetger Feldmann ("Broesel") created a biker character called "Werner", a notorious deadbeat bike-tuner. After his creation had become successful, Broesel decided to construct some of his comic-book inventions in reality for marketing purposes. That's Broesel on the left. His website is at: http://www.werner-broesel.de/
Note the enormous twin exhaust-pipes.

His comic character Werner is a real classic, real German work site humour.

Kawasaki made some notorious motorcycles in the 1970s, most notably the H1 triple with its hellacious two-cycle power curve. This custom monster boast 48-cylinders, six crankshafts and six Jaguar E-type distributors. Yeah, it's kinda hairy.

The creation of motorcycling madman Simon Whitlock, who in the past has built a fuel injected, water cooled, supercharged and nitrous-fed version of the aforementioned killer H1. This creation is cobbled together from a series of engines pulled from Kawasaki S1/KH250's and boasts a total displacement of 4200 cubic centimeters, and is essentially six, inline-eight engines, each with its own crankshaft, all tied together with gears and running through a BMW transmission. The engine uses six Jaguar E-Type distributors to get the sparks flying and a 75 cc pony motor under the seat as a starter. Believe it or not, the bike is barely rideable, but we're betting a change of pants is required after every trip
