The oversized Gunbus motorcycle is complete. Despite the seemingly overwhelming engineering challenges of putting a 410 cubic inch V Twin engine on a frame that wouldn't crumble, Clemens F. Leonhardt would not be discouraged. The motorcycle has a three speed with reverse; the seat is 31.5 inches high with an overall length of almost 12 feet. The beast weighs 1400 pounds, so it's not your afternoon cruiser. The oddest part is this will be a limited production, which means there will be more than one of these monster bikes!
