What, a 2200 not big enough for you?

07-14-2008, 05:14 PM

Has anyone had the chance to see this monstrosity of a bike yet? A 410ci V-twin. They call it the Gunbus.

Pretty ridiculous. The exposed chains (on both sides even ) just looks horrible to me. It makes a lot of power, sure, but that's just one big ugly bike.

The tires diameter is 38" front and 42" on the rear! And up to 15" wide.

The balloon tires are what ruins it for me.

From the previews I've see that must have inspired the writers of the new Batman movie.

I'll bet she handles really well. (The blonde in the photos, not the bike.) This is the most ridiculous bike I've ever seen.
