Bonhams will be selling the famous Tinker Toy motorcycle built by Simon Whitelock. The wild creation is powered by 16 Kawasaki KH250 three-cylinder motors in six banks of eight. This gives the motorcycle 4.2 liters of displacement and 48 cylinders. Power is sent the rear wheel through a BMW K100 gearbox. The 600 kg motorcycle also uses Honda Goldwing forks, Goldwing brakes, custom hubs, and custom wheels. It should come as no surprise the motorcycle holds a Guinness World Record.
