It may only have half as much cylinders but it's a record holder.

A little background: The bike is the incarnation of a comic m/c from the Werner-comics which are famous in Germany. The creator of these comics has a tendecy to build IRL what he draws together with his brother and several other sufficiently lunatic individuals. The most famous bikes are the Satte-Literschuessel (which is a mock of the German word for satellite dish but means "more than a litre jalopy" and is a 1.4l-thumper with "fully stressed engine", a wooden front fork and a shovel blade as seat) and the Red Porsche Killer which has four coupled Horex-single cylinder engines.
