    Is this an art piece or a motorcycle?

    There seem to be a few odd features- see what you can spot.

    48 cylinders (righthandside looks the same as the left) with 8 cylinders per crankshaft - how'd Simon Whitlock do that starting out with 3 cylinder engines ... and why

    Something not right about that bike

    It has no gear change lever, yet it has a clutch lever.and the left pillions foot would interfere with the riders ankle.

    Anyone riding this monster 48 cylinder bike would have to have bloody short legs
    and a long torso, and heat resistant knee pads.

    No shaft? no chain? wheres the gearbox situated. Me thinks it might be a bit slow.

    All that cylinder and only 2 way out? The exhaust cans might explode!


    P.S. No sidestand!


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
