Bonhams will be selling the famous Tinker Toy motorcycle built by Simon Whitelock. The wild creation is powered by 16 Kawasaki KH250 three-cylinder motors in six banks of eight. This gives the motorcycle 4.2 liters of displacement and 48 cylinders. Power is sent the rear wheel through a BMW K100 gearbox. The 600 kg motorcycle also uses Honda Goldwing forks, Goldwing brakes, custom hubs, and custom wheels. It should come as no surprise the motorcycle holds a Guinness World Record.

  1. I would love to have this masterpiece just to set in my den. You could not crank it, just imagine the exhaust smoke from that many 2 stroke engines. I see the dual spark plugs and of course that helped emissions some. I can’t even think of cranking it up in California but I would still like to have it.
