48 cylinder bike (not photoshopped) This is a piece of engineering. He's using 48 Kawasaki KH250 2 stroke cylinders. Click on the video. -ZXtra

over a ton?!? nuts. needs to put on som longer bars so he can actually ride the thing. but i dont know that i'd want to! lose ur balance a tad fer just a half second & u'r not pickin that thing up again. sounds cool as shit tho! wish the clip had better audio

Surely not. Each cylinder come from a 250 triple which mean 87.5 cc/cylinder (it is written on the link to be a 4200cc engine). As a rough guess, those 250 were producing about 40 HP. Being a 48 cylinder engine, it is using 16 of those triples so, my guess would be about 16 x 40 HP = 480 HP. Still impressive though.

Also, that alleged 30-40 Hp would be in stock triple cylinder form.
Once you strap them all together to that giant crankshaft or whatever kind of deal he has set up inside that engine you would most likely lower the RPM range due to the HUGE- LONG rotating mass and have more of a torque machine than a HP machine, correct?
I would love to see inside that crankcase LOL!
