Gunbus 410 Cubic Inch V-Twin Motorcycle Completed

Gunbus 410 cubic inch motorcycle
The Gunbus 410 cubic inch V-Twin motorcycle is complete. The monster engine placed in a motorcycle frame of comparable size looked impossible and many who saw the photos were skeptical of the bike ever being finished but I guess, Clemens F. Leonhardt is one of those persistent guys who ignores the naysayers and keeps at his work.
The fuel injected, 45 degree 6728 cc / 410 cubic inch V-Twin runs through a 3 speed transmission with reverse and actually looks pretty good in its finished state compared to the initial photos, in fact, everything looks good. It puts out 523 foot pounds of torque. Seat height is 31.5 inches and overall length is 136 inches. It is a little heavy at 1433 pounds so high speed corner carving might be an issue and there aren’t any photos of the big bike on the road so I guess we’ll have to wait for the road test, that is if someone can actually road test this monster.
This is actually going to go into limited series production and a sidecar will be available as well which might help with balance when waiting at a light. I don’t even want to think about a driveway tipover. I think this is great! Now, where’s the video?
Thanks for the tip, Petr!

I bet that Gunbus vibrates like a mother! Would be fun to try.
Yeah, She probably would.

I know, you probably haven't seen this much fuzz since you saw a copy of playboy back in the 70's, but its only a cell phone pic.
This will be using a honda VT500FT motor. I made the chassis from a kx500 neck and front end, a sportster frame, an aftermarket hardtail, and a suzuki intruder drive shaft and rear wheel, I whipped this together last Saturday. A true b@st@rd and it will be sporting quite a few more parts from donar (jap, american, and british) bikes.

Sharp bike! Custom color?
last weekend ...this weekend ... probably the next 8-12 weekends until it gets too dang hot!
Is this in SC? I didn't know there was any place to dune ride there? BIL lives in Greeneville, need a good excuse to bring the bikes down there when we go to see his place!
2K, you don't mess around when it comes to toys! I am really digging that orange ninja

That is a handsome bike. I wouldn't even put that chainsaw near it let alone on it. If it slips nothin good is gonna happen.

Yup, I sold it after a high side @ 90mph. Terrible crash but I didn't break nothing. Those bikes need alot of respect but dam they are a rush. The last few times I got on it, I had to hit 170mph before getting off, I decided it was time to sell. I might get another someday......
