48 cylinder motorcycle engine

[Motu]

I'd like to lay my dick across one whole bank and short out 8 plugs at once...just to see what it sounded like y'know.....

DUCKMAN, I was just passing by and ran across your idotic post bashing Americans. Well, I'm an American and I am certainly not stupid. You will notice that, unlike yourself, I am able to spell "stupid" correctly. Furthermore, I am able to differentiate between desireable and undesireable members of a large group of individuals. You can go ahead and bash us as a group all you want, but keep in mind that it is the KIWI that has been removed from the gene pool (and in your case that is a happy thing). I know with your little mind you are content with sitting there on your little island spewing sour grapes at a large group of the human race who, when they do something, the whole world listens. The last time a KIWI made a hit was back in the 50's when a cool little indian sherpa carried one to the top of the mountain. GET A LIFE, little duck man!

Hmmm,first time I've taken any notice of this thread but I just had to say something,because this is the second time I've heard this from an American person.
Murray,Just for the record mate.The Kiwi is not extinct,It's in better shape than your Bald Eagle.
If your going to slag off another person just because you made a cunt of yourself and were found wanting,please at lest get your facts right.
Another thing while we're at it,I've actualy met a lot of American people,nice folks.
What happened to you??

You just singled handedly improved my impression of all Americans - Go hard that man!!

LOL!

Just remember this... 49% of us still hate that fucker bush...

and for the other guy who asked wtf this Murray guy's deal is, I dunno... I could blame it on our piss-poor edyookayshun system, I could blame it on gang violence in the streets, I could probably find some reason why it's bush's fault... but it's probably closer to the truth that his mother dropped him on his head as an infant and his father was a drunken redneck who hated his mother but stuck with her cuz he knocked her up.

And yes, I really do ride a honda rebel 250... lol It's fast enough to get me where I'm going, it gets 75 MPG, and it only cost US$3000 brand new. Plus, the lack of power keeps me outta all the trouble I got into as a young'n. Though I was talking the other day about tearing it down over winter, stroking it, boring it over, porting and polishing the heads, putting dual carbs and a turbo on it... but thus far, I have yet to find a turbo small enough...

and someone to stop laughing for long enough to supply you with one

[TX Dj]

or.... I could just get 24 Rebel 250 engines and weld them togther...

Listen jack off, I asked a simple question. One of the editors of one of the motorcycle mags in the US wanted to find out some information on this to do an article simply because it is different. Do you know something? Or do you have nothing better to sit on your ass and interject usless verbage that means nothing? Your pathetic. Go find something to do..........

Calm down, you are not from the US are you??

[enigma51]

That's different....





Whats with all the sensitive people on this forum. So what if people dont like Americans we can not all be loved.
Now I understand the iraq thing.........

Just for the record All the american dudes that is upset can you please give Duckman his fishing line back

[riffer]

I was thinkin of the time it would take to replace the plugs

Could be worse, buddy.

Imaging if they tried that with 48 FZR engines - 960 valve shims to set!!!

What may be of interest to some people,is the guy with his butt seated on that 48 cylinder.......none other than that infamous Brit... Rick Brett who has owned something like 93 H2's over the last 20 years or so

[Jsn]

Nutty... just far too nutty.. that bike is going to end up killing someone eh. I'd still be keen to give it a go tho

[mattt]

How do ya think this puppy goes on fuel economy? It's a yankees dream, something that burns more fuel than their F250 petrol powered V12 antiaerodynamic trucks

[TX Dj]

I'm betting somewhere close to four gallons to the mile. Yet it only has a 2 gallon tank. It sure looks like it's got the right lines to be a drag bike. I forget, does it mention any dyno stats?

I'm betting it's pretty lean on power given all the loss in the geartrain on the engine.

What on earth was this guy when he came up with this idea, I wonder.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and the SHEER WEIGHT OF THE THING. egads

[Whorse]

6 of them should have been ample

why build something completely unrideable ?

i bet it cant rev out past 1000 RPM

make it a V6 , it could be a 9000 RPM screamer ,

then it would shred tyres like Ducati's prototype V 4 from the 1950's

his fuel tank wouldnt last 10 minutes as a V48

anyway........

some people play scrabble
some people get tattoo'd
some people shove barbed wire up their ass for a thrill
and some blokes build weird shit

Well, the article does say he's not an engineer... So who knows if he applied any common engineering logic to it. Oh wait, I know... He didn't. What engineer would build an engine where about 70% of its power produced is used to sling the pistons and crankshafts around... hahah
