    World's longest motorbike a 25 seater!

    Plumber Colin furze has built the world’s longest motorcycle. At 72ft long, the converted scooter can carry up to 25 people!

    Furze, 31, who already holds the world record for the fastest mobility scooter (which can hit 71mph!), took a month to build his latest record attempt bike. To qualify, he ran it for a mile at Saltby Airfield in Grantham, reaching 35mph.

    “When I first got on it I thought it would never work and at a slow speed it's almost impossible to keep upright, but once you get going it is a bit easier though it is a real strain on your arms as it has such heavy steering” said Furze.

    The record attempt is still to be ratified by the Guinness World of Records.

    so Its a moped cut in half with a truss up the middle of it?

    IMHO not really impressed, maybe it needs some extra wheels to support the truss..

    Would that not, by dint of too many wheels, make it not a motorcycle? Or scooter? Or PTW (Powered Two Wheeler, to use the current generic term used when discussing us biker types in Europe)?

    Which would rather make a mess of the record attempt!
