Hey Hunter, want to ride this thing!!!

[eddie]

This company in France, took the V8 motor out of a Maserati, and built a bike around it lol, With 470 hp, you could get around town pretty fast I bet!:D I mean with a 470 horsepower bike like that, what could go wrong!?!

I really can't imagine that this thing is fun to ride at all. But they've shown nicely in the video what it's good for: Slowly riding around town to pose at the next restaurant. Compensation anyone?:roll:

Paint it black and you have Batman's motorcycle.

From a technical viewpoint it's an impressive feat, and it certainly sounds nice at low revs. I do dislike those motorcycles that scream at high rev, would much rather hear a thumper or a purr (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnFwhRv524Q).
The twin wheel arrangement is also quite nice, so you can still bank the bike to some extent, and there's a degree of movement.
I suppose it's like the Buggatti Veyron, purely a technical achievement, rather than a practical object. The Veyron costs several hundred arms and legs, and eats fuel like an M1 Abrams, but is an incredibly well made machine that can go ludicrous speed. I suspect that this motorcycle is in a similar vein.

Got that right Neal!!

I want one. Does a suit of armor come with it?

I have seen V8 powered motorcycles before but this one takes it to another level.

What about Werner's 24-chainsaw-engined motorcycle :O:

My initial thoughts too but I would be interested in knowing what the performance specs are.

I've seen 2 articles on it Jim, but no performance specs. I think the only place you could take it to find out how it performs would be the Bonnieville Salt Flats,lol

Bonnieville Salt Flats,lol

Plus someone brave enough to sit on it and fully open the throttle :)

[eddie]

That's true Jim! Wonder if we could gt Oberon to be our test rider? I did read it has only a one gear transmission, which means you could set a new land speed record!:up:
