Robbie's Gunbus 410 cubic inch (67280cc's) V-Twin motorcycle is 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 Robbie 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. 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

I feel sorry for them when they drop it at the lights

I'm sorry but i do not like that,to big and ugly!(bike only) fair play for building it

I do not like the look of those chains you could get caught up in

shouldent they be covered for safety?

Style first, safety last. As they used to say on American Chopper.

Yeah you would need a crane to lift that back up if you dropped it. A stock Harley is bad enough to lift.

I'm impressed he managed to buy tyres for it

Aircraft tyres?

Stu · Post by **Stu** » Thu Apr 16, 09 1:44 pm

Custom made tyres, apparently. Originally planned to use tyres from a Boeing 767 though, so you can have half a point, Clivey!

No way man. Full point. Custom made or not, if they were meant for a plane, they are aircraft tyres.

Nope! He didn't use the aircraft tyres! He got custom made ones instead. For his very big motorbike! So that makes them custom motorbike tyres!

1/2 a point! Deal or no deal?

You aint supposed to say that till I say 'I'm ready for the question Noel'

THEN you say, '0.5 points - deal or no deal'.

I aint ready for the question so you have to take all that back.

Play properly or I am not playing at all.

How would I know? I'm always working when it's on!

I like this one.

Bit quick!

Not as big, but I bet you'd back it if they were racing each other!

Until the engine went up for sale, obviously.

Why are you working in the afternoons? Have you packed in being a male escort?

Stu · Post by **Stu** » Thu Apr 16, 09 2:06 pm

Maybe in that particular line of work, working late has it's "advantages"

Another big engine. 3500cc. But physically only about 50% bigger than a Harley V-Twin. Possibly a more realistic size for a bike you might just be able to drive if you built a custom frame for it.
