hmm, wasn't that for sale about a year ago? with the same picture?

seen that in the 'flesh' it uses another engine to start the 48 cylinders. Far too top heavy to ride and with 2 foot inlet tracts it does defy two stroke theory in many respects.

Isnt that the one built with a load of etype engines?

But i think youve missed the point a bit here. I doubt it was ever built to be rideable, but more for the guiness world record. The demonstration is for engineering recognition.

It's not really for sale - just check out the price
It's just an ad for a bike shop.........and with that £499.999 starting price , I'd say a pretty expensive one
