Re: Not a Suzuki but look at this
Har-har, I wonder why it's hardly been ridden.

Re: Not a Suzuki but look at this
Not only have I seen one, I've seen several. The poster, Clive came to Deals Gap one year with a five-cylinder version, and the mentioned Jim Knight had his version of a four-cylinder H2 with him. Millyard has gone up to seven cylinders across using Kaw triple parts.
If you really want to see something unique look up Simon Whitelock...

If you stroke it more than twice; you're playing with it.

Re: Not a Suzuki but look at this
That 48 cylinder bike is so ridiculous That a person can't even sit on it, reach the handle bars and ride it. So what it's got a lot of motor. Power for display only. That must be the reason it's carted around. Doesn't appear that it can be ridden ?

Re: Not a Suzuki but look at this
Yes, the 5 cylinder was a work of art with 5 pipes. This one appears to have only two, never seen that before.

Re: Not a Suzuki but look at this
The 48 was Simon's big FU to Allen Millyard. You see, Simon did the first four (and up) cylinder Kawasakis, and Allen followed. Allen got all the press, so Simon did this to, once and for all, prove who is the king. At least that's the way the story was told to me. As to riding it, everyone is afraid to, it weighs nearly a ton.pearljam724 wrote:That 48 cylinder bike is so ridiculous That a person can't even sit on it, reach the handle bars and ride it.

Re: Not a Suzuki but look at this
Allen Millyard has built 30 plus Kawa multis I believe. I have been to his house, where he does all of his work in a small garage. He is a very clever man, and a first class engineer. His "Flying Millyard" uses 2 cylinders from a massive radial aero engine, and he has built a bike round a Viper V10 motor. He has also done a few littlies....100cc V twins and such.

Re: Not a Suzuki but look at this
Allan had the Flying Millyard at the Stafford show a few weeks ago, and actually rode it on a parade lap. This is a photo I took a few minutes after the ride as they set it up for display in the hall. An amazing bit of workmanship - and 5000cc's !
