have a look at THIS BABY.
the Tomahawk, from, erm, Chrysler?
it has four wheels, officer. of course i can ride it on the freeway. and if you disagree, i’ll pull the diff right out from under your shitty little camry cop car.

The handlebars look so stupid.
OK, it’s not just the bars that look stupid.
This looks a bit more normal, and it’s a V-twin. 5 litres, but still a twin. The front two cylinders sliced off a Merlin V12 aircraft engine from world war II. (used in Mosquito bombers).

and you can now buy the engine, if you’re nuts. IIRC, the bike had no stand, or need for one, as the rear tyre in the original trim was a goodyear drag racing tyre, nice and fat and square. didn’t like turning much.
OK, any more mad big bikes out there?
sandman’s flares would do wonder with this unprotected belt thingy 
Check out the awesome nitrous system. I mean, WHY?
And it would be just a mite loud: have a quick look at the exhaust pipes. that’s all: just short header pipes.
My step-brother (an aircraft engineer) used to have a speed boat for barefoot ski championship races. It could crank along at something like 50-60 knots, and ran methanol into a 357 small block Chevy engine. the exhaust was a set of eight short stubbies, pointing back and up. I was lucky enough to sit in the spotters chair one evening run, and the pipes glowed orange in the dusk. Now that was loud too: definitely a big set of earmuffs needed for that job.
Haha, classy stuff. I was reading an article yesterday about some guys whose job is to design turbochargers for street bikes. They were getting a reliable 550hp and some silly amount of torque. Thinking about that a little, the fastest bike I’ve ridden was a Honda CB1300SF which according to the specs puts out 114hp and 100ft-lbs of torque. The owner had got an extra 10 or so ponies with a few modifications and that was - excuse my French - really fucking fast.
So quadruple that horsepower and almost triple the torque and I imagine I would either a) kill myself, b) end up in jail, c) all of the above and/or d) be so digusted with regular slow streetbikes I would have to give up riding altogether.
Nelson Piquet just had his driving licence indefinitely revoked in Brazil. He must have felt the same thing.
there are some truly mad youtube contributions from guys running blown Hayabusas at some 160-170 hp on high speed roads in Germany. Nuts.

from all i know it involved more repeated minor offenses than speeding but i could be wrong.
viewing this type of shite only makes other twats take similar risks,every time you watch one of those vids with an admirative grin on your face,think of the 2 families which were told that their son and daughter won’t ever come home again because some asshole thought he’d be the hottest biker on earth by slaloming through traffic and then sliced the family car in half.
the dude who wins his first track day race gets my utmost respect…so does the ones who crash their bikes at turn 1
I’ll see your 5 liter v-twin, and raise you a 6.7 liter lump formed from two cylinders from a 9 cyl. radial.

I got an email about that monster a while back.
It has an 8277cc engine in it with a top speed of 600km/h. The front tire has to split in two so the bugger can turn.

I was about to ask who wants to run it up to that speed… NOT ME.
assplode? burst and bite you on the bum?
[quote=“urodacus”]assplode? burst and bite you on the bum?[/quote]Exactly. Blows up and takes your ass with it. 
It ain’t the biggest thing on two wheels, but it is one of the scariest bikes ever made:
