Wanna see a really B I G bike?

[santse]

Did you ever feel small standing by a V2K? Then try this one:



Gunbus410 by Leonhardt Manufacturing...



...with a very decorative lady (just to get a clue of the proportions of the monster)...



...err... lost orientation? (still looking nice)



Lots of more nice pics at the manufacturer's homepage.

I like them both

So after seeing the specs now I know I was wrong. I thought the mc was just a non working big display to get attention. That might be fun to try to ride, the bike that is.

Yes it's a real bike, ready to take off.

The cylinders were taken from an airplane engine (from an "Antonow"), and the tires come originally from a Boeing 767, only some profile added.

What somewhat concerns me are those uncovered transmissions on both sides, but I think the final release will come with some covers on there.

not necessarily, there are many custom cruisers out there without covers on both primary and final drives. looks cool. danger be damned. lol

Yep, needs a chain guard. That motor would be unforgiving if you got your pants leg caught. The girl would get real upset if you dumped her because you lost control. Hum....

[airforce1]

Nice Levi's!

[sebastian1000]

I wonder what it runs in the quarter!?

[coppertales]

that drive chain looks kinda wimpy. I bet they are aircraft engine jugs. Some folks just have too much money and time......chris3

[Michael600r]

That sucker would get some attention on bike night!

[mkelley]

Gee, for that price you could have 10 new 2009 Indian Super Chiefs!

[santse]

Hi Cheri, nice to see you around!

Gee Rudi, don't you still need a new bike?!!!!!

Good idea, let me look for my saved money in the mattress...

... looks like I have to go for some heavy fund raising... anybody wanting to donate, PM me for my paypal account

Just kidding. It would take me about 8-years income just to buy the monster.

It looks awesome, but it might be hard to handle it thru curves, not to think of a u-turn. OK, it has a reverse gear, so if you stop the other traffic and then do some back-and-forth...

Cheers, Rudi

[airforce1]

Share.

Ok, I'll bite. With something that large, how do you actual maneuver it? I would suspect you can't flat-foot it unless your 10 ft tall, and it would just tip over...that is unless the tires are so large it just stands up by itself?

Take a look at the pics and look at the legs of the model...I am sure a guy can flatfoot that thing. It has to be a beast to maneuver at low speed but once moving I am guessing it isn't that bad....kinda like driving a two-wheeled Mack truck!

I guess the V2k is now only the largest PRACTICAL v-twin on the market today.

[RichLockyer]

HOT DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FINALLY a bike built for a guy my size!

Maybe with apes I could actually ride it!

No... this is NOT an Eliminator 125!
