Tank

Once all the work was completed, the Guinness representatives began to study the characteristics of an unusual tank cycle, which has a five-meter base and almost a ton of weight per meter. In addition to a threatening appearance, the two-wheeled vehicle received an unusual engine, removed from the T-55 tank. The heart of a German motorcycle is capable of delivering from 620 to 800 liters. from. And without much difficulty to move the machine, collected from old Soviet cars. The story of where the German guys got the engine from the Soviet tank is covered with a secret to this day. I managed to find out only the year of release - 1986.

This model received a steering wheel of impressive size. With two-meter levers of control, it's hard for an unprepared person to cope. To fit into the turn, you need not only skill, but also a good physical preparation. A passenger who also has a steering wheel can help in managing a large motorcycle. The passenger can steal a wheel attached to the cradle.

PanzerBike is a clear contender for the title of one of the heaviest bikes, but to claim that he is the biggest motorcycle in the world is wrong. His general parameters are impressive, the appearance enthralls, and the name only strengthens the emotions from what he has seen. But there are specimens that surpass their German counterpart.

Monster Motorbike from Hell

Despite the name of the motorcycle ("Monster-bike from hell"), its creator never ceases to repeat that this miracle of technology is the safest among two-wheeled analogues.

Heart and soul in an incredibly large motorcycle was invested by Ray Bauman, who lived his entire life in the city of Perth and is a professional stuntman. According to the master himself, it took him three years to create unique equipment.

To force this monster to go is a cargo engine from the Detroit Diesel corporation, which is paired with a six-speed transmission.

According to Ray, during the work on the "Monster" there were many difficulties, it was necessary to restore health, which was undermined after two fractures of the spine.

Dream Big

The length of the device was 6.2 m, and the height of 3.4 m - is impressive, is not it? Despite the huge size and weight of 3 tons, the motorcycle is able to drive at a speed of 100 km / h. Engine V8 with a volume of 8.2 liters is able to produce up to 500 liters. With .. The transmission has only three speeds, one of which is the rear. But this is quite enough to bring the Dream Big into motion. Work on the creation of this unique motorcycle not only took a huge amount of time and effort, but also devastated the purse of Greg for about $ 300,000.

Regio Design XXL Chopper

The creation of the famous Italian master was shown to the general public in 2012 at one of the exhibitions.

The Chevrolet engine is paired with a three-speed gearbox, which was removed from the old Buick.
