World's biggest bike!

[Edbear]

Not sure if this will work, but got it off another biker site in the US.

...4,740 kilograms. Tilo Niebel built the motorcycle and side car around an 800 horsepower engine from a Russian T55 tank...

Yah wouldn't want to drop that as I wouldn't want want to pick the bastard up... :sweatdrop (luckily it has a side car... :innocent:)

Here's a link to a different article about the same bike...

http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/21/german-tank-bike-tops-all-others/


The engine comes from a Soviet T-55 tank, which was a diesel V12 with 620 HP. Note the CCCP and crest at the front of the sidecar, which adorns the front of the hood from a Soviet truck. Even better, check out that anvil hood ornament.
I ask you, who says the Germans don't have a sense of humor? All right, so it can be an arcane, mystifying sense of humor, but it's there, and that's the point. Tilo Niebel and his gents at the Harzer Bike company in Germany, upon finding they had a tank engine to play with, decided that of all the more reasonable things they could build, they should construct a giant WWII German motorbike with sidecar.
The bike is almost 19 feet long, over 9 feet wide, and weighs 9,480 pounds. That means if you tip it, you'll need the assistance of a wrecker to get it back up. If the Jolly Green Giant decides to go badass, his ride has arrived.

Coming soon! You'll see this on the odd website around the internet once it's finished. Until then here's an exclusive photo of it in the build stage.
A bit odd really.
