I would not like to try cornering on that bike...

As for the pigs... well, it's not something you see everyday (thankfully!)

Must be photoshopped, there's no way you could have a V12 hanging out each side of the bike.

There is 12 spark plugs on the left side with two banks of 6.

As far as I can tell, I see the same on the right side of the bike.

So 24 cylinders, 6 HD8 2inch SU carbs. Ridiculous.

There's no bike chain that would survive that torque.
Regards

Gary ;)

Just out of interest, how many cylinders does that thing have? :o there's 12 on the camera side, can see more ignition leads going over to the other side, 12 more over there?

24 cylinder air cooled petrol engines were used in aircraft and tanks during WW2 by the British ... the bike is British ... the rider looks like a nutter.

It isn't a merlin motor not sure what family it is but it would be fun. :)

So a 3 bank motor? A v6 with another bank of 6?
Imagine trying to ease the accelerator without wheelspin.
Edit 24/3 is not 6. So it's a W24 6,6,6,6

It must be shopped, looking at it closer some bits just don't quite look right (apart from the 24 cylinders :rolleyes:) like the fuel tank/fork/front wheel look like one item cut and pasted over the engine...kinda

Would fool alot of people though, like us :p

There is no way those forks could sustain that weight. but it would be a good pic on a wall to create interest. Has proved a talking point.

Here is a v10 (viper) bike

The engine I was thinking of was the Rolls Royce Vulture which was basically two V12 Kestrels on a common crankshaft to give a "X" layout . They were fitted to Avro Manchesters in pairs and replaced by four more reliable Merlin V12s .
The other one of some interest wer the Napier Sabres which I think were two flat 12s layed one above the other . I think they started out in Hawker Typhoons and took a lot of development to get the reliable .
