Most motorcycles have just 1, 2 or maybe 4 cylinders, but that just isn’t enough when motorcycle engineers start doing crazy stuff.
Here is a collection of some rare monster motorcycles with lots of cylinders.
Let’s start with a motorcycle with a 7 cylinder radial engine. The engine develops 110 hp (82 kw).
Next we have a crazy production motorcycle that you can actually go out and buy. The Feuling W3 has a 2.4 liter engine with 9 cylinders and 150 hp (112 kw).
It would be unfair not to mention the Boss Hoss motorcycles at this time. Both production models from Boss Hoss have a V8 engine and the biggest one of them is a whooping 8.3 liter (the smallest one is just 5.7 liter).
Moving up the list we encounter the Dodge Tomahawk with 10 cylinders. The Dodge Tomahawk is the fastest motorcycle in the world if you accept that it’s not a production model (check out the fastest production motorcycles).
Next we have two 12 cylinder motorcycles. A Kawasaki with a 2.3 liter V12 engine and a home made monster with a 5.5 liter V12 engine from a BMW car.
Second last on the list is the 24 cylinder Dolmette motorcycle. The engine is built from 24 chainsaw engines (!), has a total size of 1.9 liter and develops a total of 170 hp (127 kw).
Finally we have a monster that can take on any other motorcycle. Say hello to the only 48 cylinder motorcycle in the world.
The engine is made from six normal, 8 cylinder engines. It has a total size of 4.2 liter and apparently it weights more than 1,000 kg (2,205 lbs). The 48 cylinder monster has its own website.
That Dodge tomahawk is so bad ass. Wish I could ride again one day but with all the metal in my spine and don’t think it be a wise idea. Maybe in next life.
Wow! That’s crazy and takes some serious heart to ride that thing
The Feuling W3 is a 3 cylinder engine- in thiks case a vee twin with another cylinder crowbarred in

all these bikes are slow heaps of crap that could hardly beat a 250 let alone a road bike. the people tmade these things to compensate for the small penis.
The person that left that comment sounds like he wouldnt know a motorbike from a cow. The Dodge tomahalk is the fastest bike in the world. And the Dolmette is a 1.9 ltr and puts out 170 hp. More then his pushbike would
“The Dodge Tomahawk is the fastest motorcycle in the world.” Last time I checked all the motorcycles I have ever seen and ridden only had two wheels. So does that make the Tomahawk the world’s lightest, smallest, fastest car? I’m not knocking the Tomahawk, it’s an awesome vehicle, just not a motorcycle in my opinion.
The 48 cyl. Kawasaki engined machine is actually 16 KH250 engines
which are three cylinder two-stroke. It does run and is *just* rideable.
Re: Hunks of crap. You’re obviously an expert then! Although several
thousand Boss Hog owners would tend to disagree with your learned
opinions. Oh! Since when is a 250 not a road bike?
Untill the speed on the Tomahawk is tested and recorded, I wouldn’t call it the fastest bike, also, The fastest street production bike would be the Hayabusa clocking about 200 mph with the limiter on. Turning it off would raise the speed to about 250 mph.
Re: hunks of crap, a 250 is a decent size road starter bike that could probably achieve 120 mph without a problem.
The Kawasaki is a nice step into the early 80’s xD
I still prefer the ‘72 Honda CB 750 Four, over every other bike out there. It’s fast, reliable, and fun to ride. Parts are a bitch.
