HMS V12 Dragster Bike

bmw_v12_bike.jpg

I previously posted about a car powered by a motorcycle engine, so what about motorcycles powered by car engines? I am sure you remember the Dodge Tomahawk powered by the Dodge Viper’s V10 engine. The German boys over at HMS Sportsbikes have built a monster dragster bike powered by a BMW V12 engine.

bmw_v12_bike_4.jpgHMS Sportsbikes took a 5.5 liter V12 engine from the E38 BMW 750iL, which was a long-body 7-series limousine. It’s 5.5 liter V12 engine made 322hp, and was also used in the Rolls-Royce Silver Serraph. As with all big displacement engines, it makes a massive 400Nm of torque from as low as 1500rpm, and this rises to 490Nm at 3900rpm. As if those numbers weren’t enough, HMS Sportsbikes also plans to add forced induction and nitrous oxide to the engine, which should bring total horsepower to above the 500hp range. Madness!

    Call me a coward, but I think that so much power on a bike is suicide.

    Shouldn’t it be a V12 from the bmw? Counted the intake manifolds. Hahahha. This is short of riding a rocket like crazy frog.

    Can you actually reach the steering of the bike? Look at the seat and the steering, are you suppose to rest on the tank? and the engine below it? So if you don’t die crashing the bike, you will die of burns..

    Yea I do know that drags are carried out in a straight line, but the idea of leaning on the engine with all that power freaks me out hahah! Btw I don’t think the brakes are capable of slowing the bike down effectively, are there any other equipment for braking or is the biker supposed to slow it down over a long distance? OMG, this bike is scary.

    Wah motorhead, with such motorbike if available to you, how fast you dare to go. This is “truely” KEREMOTOR Potong, is it marvellous or dangerous! Can it turn into bits and pieces if smash hard! Look at the belly (enjin section) of the bike, it must be thrilling for driving! Like superman ah!

    If i got a motor like this one, go 200kmp on our highway enuf la, but now our highway so jam oso, no place to test…can test 300-400kmp on desert.. msia ve no desert… but i doubt this motor can go up to 300kmp.. the firing work is poor..

    Hai motorhead, if you drive this kind of machine, you must be 6 footer (as looking at the long body of the motorbike) so that your kaki can reach the position of pedal at the back in “superman flying position”. If you are 5′4″, then forget about driving this machine, he, he, he …. just joking ah, no offence ah, …….

    Joe… if i can ride this bike, i cant afford oso.., with so much money better i buy 1 more house, or get myself a 2nd young wife or mistress.. hahaha..

    Motorhead …. If you want to get 2nd young wife, … aha…. do you have enough umph…….., or have enough POWER ah…….

    My opinion is never get 2nd wife from northern state especially Kelantan. Just FYI, Kelantanese girl, they have “NASI KANGKANG”, once you eat it, you are not like “Mat Rempit”, but just like “Mat Bodoh”, whatever she ask you to do, you will follow 100% without questioning anything! This is true story (”not categorize under X-file ah”) I saw a case in my hometown, actually he is my former secondary school teacher, handsome with good body build but wife from Kelantan. Once upon a time, he and one of girl student fall in love with each other and intend to get marry, but I heard after his wife go back to Kelantan and later come back again, he become silent and “quite” again, no more make noise want to take 2nd young wife. We suspect and gossip that he must be eating his wife nasi kangkang lol, ……..

    Notes: “nasi kangkang” is a rice cook in pot, the women stand kangkang so that the steam is going upward into her body wrap with kain sarong, let sweating and drop down to rice with jampi. So any guy eat it, finishlah, QC - Queen Control……..

    Sorry, off topic, no offence ah,……… he, he, he, he, ………

    ps: Joe, if u feel want to go to kltn, just tell me…

    Wah motorhead, you are truely adventurous and risk taker, have to emulate you so that I also can have more girlfriends, so that the house tiger cannot garang on me knowing that outside I still laku hoh,…… kheh, kheh, kheh, ……. Life is short, enjoy to fullest, so it is true last time my professor told me no risk no gain, no pain no gain!

    like daring for speed, u ve to be daring with women oso.. married oso nevermind, but do u ve the guts??.. but now i am slow a bit, i like women for friends.. the most is, having dinner.. too much oso dangerous, if they madly in love with u, they wud do anything (especially young girls when they r in heat), avoid intimate relationship.. not nice if your daughter knew about it.. it is a small world.. but if u want to test market yourself, why not??… hahaha..

    ps:now we r way out of topic, spesial forum is truly a good idea…
