The Leonhardt Gunbus 410, World's Largest Streetable Motorcycle


Out of Germany comes the Leonhardt Manufacturing Gunbus 410, powered by 410 cubic inches of brutal 45degree V-twin power. Total length 3.47meters, which is 11ft. 5ins. Yes, they are for sale, contact Leonhardt Manufacturing here to inquire.

Gunbus 410 & Harley Big Twin
To give you some further idea of the sheer massiveness of this beast, we've included this shot of a Gunbus 410 with an H-D Big Twin. This is not a trick photo, the photographer has not played any games with the perspective to make the Gunbus look bigger than it is.

A sidecar is currently in development at Leonhardt Manufacturing.

The Wazuma V8F

Wow. Here's what you get when you mate a Ferrari 3.0L engine to a BMW M3 gearbox, a hybrid of motorcycle and open-wheel performance car: the Wazuma V8F. I believe they are going in to production... but can we buy here in the States? I don't know.

Sean just contacted us by email with a link to a recent article about his passion, his shop, and his work in a 585mag.com. Check it out here.
