Strange Bikes July 2008 Edition
SuperHunky brings us more inventions from around the world
Here we go again. Another look at some bizarre, twisted, strange and downright freaky motorcycles - if you can call them that. Some are just a bit odd, while others make you wonder why they exist … and why they were built in the first place.
1. and 1A. Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you. Simon Whitlock has created a 48-cylinder, 4200cc motorcycle by bolting a bunch of engine parts together. It took him three years to complete, and it needs a 75cc motor to start the engine. And yes, the bike hits the scales at one ton.
2. For some reason, this noble vehicle was designed after the Star Trek ship Enterprise.
8. With some engineering savvy, this rider built an actual bike motorhome.
11. Ah yes, a touring special of sorts.
So sit down, relax, get any kids out of the room, crack open a cold one and enjoy. Sort of.

3. The dirt bikes in this army are equipped to pack double, so the rider on the rear part of the saddle can shoot his bazooka. Hopefully, the rider in front ducks at the right time.
4. This extremely tall bike was built from a tractor … and in the process ruined a perfectly good tractor.
5. Dodge built this bike as a project with a V-10 motor. There are no plans for it to be released.
6. The German army built this bike to skid safely through the snow.
7. Surely you’ve heard of a riding mower. How about a bike mower?
9. In 1931, somebody thought a one-wheeled bike would be the hot ticket.
10. And I thought the three-wheeler was dead!
