GunBus Torquemeister

Slightly old news, but Clemens Leonhardt finished that monster V-twin that was in the background of the picture of the Hatz-powered diesel.

If we need inspiration as to how to integrate components in a seemingly impossible jigsaw puzzle, this is it. The execution is flawless - a masterpiece.

And 523 ft lbs of torque at 1900 rpm. Ohhhhhh my.

Lots and lots of pictures here including 59 pictures of the bike (really, how many pictures can you take one of one bike ???)

Now, if he converted it to diesel...

I am awed, but--how do you keep it upright if it starts to go over at a stop-sign??? (and get it back up if it does--call a tow truck?)

Hi,

I saw the GunBus at a local bike show at Sinsheim/Germany (Feb 2009). We asked one of the guys when/where it will be possible to hear the sound it. The guy answered that the engine is not yet running.
Let us see how the project continues...
