Size does matter....Oh yeah!

[Snaggletooth]

We all complain about not enough power, not enough leg room, too cramped...etc., etc.

This might be the answer.

 

The Gunbus 410 cubic inch V-Twin motorcycles 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 compared to the initial photos. 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. I think this is

great! Now, where's the video?

 

What can I say? Bragging rights? You bet! Grin factor? 100%!

Pucker factor? Off the charts!!!! LOL! I want one!!

Neat machine but for the majority of people highly impracticle. Sorta like the Dodge Thomahawk made a couple years ago. It certainly does showcase the builders building skills and I'll tip my hat to him for a great finished product. Wonder how much vibes that V-Twin puts out too.

Now put that bad baby in a trike or as suggested a sidecar rig and we just might have something!!

Very limited I expect. I hope they have mass quantities of insurance when they do. Otherwise they may have to rename it "blunderbus"
