    When it comes to custom motorcycle builders, there’s crazy and there’s really crazy. Falling into the latter category is one Mr. Clemens F. Leonhardt, who has just finished building what he refers to as “the world’s biggest motorcycle.” Excluding some other crazy creations, such as the Monster Bike, the guy’s got a point. Unlike other two-wheeled behemoths, the Leonhardt Gunbus is actually ready to ride on normal roads and will soon go into series production. That’s right… you’ll actually be able to buy one of these. Next on the agenda is an equally massive sidecar, which somehow seems just right for this bike.

    A quick glance at the pictures shows just how monumental that 410-cubic-inch, air-cooled, pushrod V-Twin really is. Of course, a monster of an engine must require an impressively large bike, and the Gunbus is certainly that. I wouldn’t even want to think about a driveway tip over on this beast.

    Yea you never likely will either. Can you imagine the effort it would take to get that bad boy in a turn? Or heck even more to get it back up out of a turn.
    Judging from the tire…the trailer is brought to the bike and loaded/unloaded each time, would even probly assume a winch is involved.

    Yeah I’ve been looking around latlely and can’t seem to find a video that supports that it’s actually rideable. Ten buck says Jay Leno buys one just cause.

    “New rider, taking BRC next month. Not sure if I should get a Ninja 250 or a Gunbus. The Gunbus dealer says this is a good bike to start on and I can sit on it with my feet flat on the ground…”

    — count on it!!! LOL
