CLICK ON THE PHOTOGRAPH TO EXPLODE IT TO FULL SIZE!
Take a look at this bike, it doesn't look that big, then scroll down and
see it with a girl sitting on it. A big production motorcycle engine would
be 140 cubic inches, this one is 410!
The Gunbus 410 cubic inch (6728cc's) V-Twin motorcycle is complete.
The monster engine placed in a motorcycle frame of comparable size looked
impossible and many who saw the photos were skeptical of the bike ever being
finished, but I guess Clemens F. Leonhardt is one of those persistent guys who
ignores the naysayers and keeps at his work.
The fuel-injected, 45 degree 6728 cc/410 cubic inch V-Twin runs through a 3 speed
transmission with reverse and actually looks pretty good in its finished state. In fact,
everything looks good!
It puts out 523 foot pounds of torque. Seat height is 31.5 inches and overall length is
136 inches. It is a little heavy at 1433 pounds so high speed corner carving might be
an issue and there aren't any photos of the big bike on the road, so I guess we'll have
to wait for the road test, that is if someone can actually road test this monster.
This is actually going to go into limited series production and a sidecar will
be available as well, which might help with balance when waiting at a light.
I don't even want to think about a driveway tip over.
