"Meet the Insane 48-Cylinder 1,300-Pound Motorcycle Built from 16 Kawasakis"

The Tinker Toy, a custom motorcycle with a 4.2-liter 48-cylinder engine made from 16 Kawasaki motorcycles, is set to be auctioned at Bonhams’ “The Spring Stafford Sale – The International Classic MotorCycle Show” in the UK. Built by Kawasaki fan Simon Whitelock, the motorcycle is expected to sell for $51,000 to $76,000. Whitelock has a history of creating unique motorcycles, including a "triple-triple" 9-cylinder Kawasaki and a "triple-seven" 7-cylinder motorcycle. The Tinker Toy, which took around five years to build, is not built for speed but to win a Guinness World Record. Weighing 1,300 pounds, the motorcycle features custom fabrication work and a spare engine to start the massive 48-cylinder beast.
