this bike has been around for a few years, yes it was built in Pomgolia (where else ?

)

The engine is a 48 cylinder special, based upon Kawasaki KH250 2-stroke. Total engine capacity is 12 litres.

It uses a brushcutter motor of 35cc capacity as the *starting* motor (ie , you pull-start the brushcutter motor, mounted behind the the cylinder banks under the seat), and this engages a gear-driven starter clutch which *eventually* spins all 48 cylinders into life.

There is a link on some Pomgolian site where you can hear this baby run

, but I don't have that link ( lost it maybe 2-3 years ago...)

This bike was built in response to those multi-cylinder specials that Allan Milyard was knocking out a few years ago, the 5-cylinder *triples* etc.
Someone else thought that this number of cylinders would never be topped.

I think he is right

My greatest concern is checking for a fouled plug .......
