BMW V12 Powered Motorcycle


If 8 cylinders are good then 12 cylinders are better, right? We showed you the BMW V8 motorcycle the other day and now we’ll show you what happens when someone takes a 5.5 liter BMW V12 and builds a drag bike around it. HMS Sportbikes, over in Germany, has been working on this project, taking the engine from a BMW 750i and creating something a little more sporting. They say it will have twin turbos and NOS but it looks to be a bit short of complete at this point.

BMW V8 Powered Motorcycle

Harald Geiling runs the Roadrunner Bikeshop over in Mainz, Germany, selling motorcycles and also doing a lot of frame repair. Somehow or another, the idea of building a V8 motorcycle entered Harald’s mind and being more of a doer than a dreamer, that’s what he did. He bought a 4 liter V8 from a BMW 740i, and squeezing time in over a period of four years, he made the motorcycle pictured here. The engine is stock and produces 286 hp and 300 foot pounds of torque. The exhaust is an 8 into 1 running through a Kawasaki muffler. The radiator comes from a Volvo 340. He built a two speed gearbox which powers the belt drive. Wheels and suspension are modified pieces from various Kawasakis.
The bike weighs 1100 pounds and has a wheelbase of 88 inches! OK, it’s not practical but you have to give him points for creativity. He’ll build another one if you have $90,000. As for Harald, he’s thinking about another [COLOR=#EE0000 ! important][COLOR=#EE0000 ! important]car [COLOR=#EE0000 ! important]engine[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]
for his next bike, a V6 Mercedes CDI diesel.
