It's been around for while.
"Tinker toy" is an apt name for it
its interesting to gawk at for 5 minutes but that's all
as it's effectively useless as a practical motor cycle.

How doe you tell if it's running on all cylinders?

Obviously no point to it except something to own if money is no object.

Wow, just imagining the amount of engineering skill and effort that went into making something as utterly useless as that.

[WD Forte]

'speculated' to make 500 hp
I can think of many reasons its a bad idea in a practical engineering sense but
'just because you can doesn't mean you should' comes to mind.

It's basically an ornament made by someone with too much time on their hands
A youtube vid briefly shows him so called riding it
as long as shuffling along with feet on the ground is riding
and he says he's open to offers in the region of wait for it ................
half a million quid
I wonder if you get free magic beans with that?

I saw this bike at MCN London Excel centre over the weekend. Besides everything already said, its just too bloody big. It snot a bike anymore, .more of an engineering project

Also KH250 engines weren't the most reliable 2 strokes around at that time. As with all Kwack triples the centre cylinder had a tendancy to overheat so I dread to think what would happen with that when running for any sort of time.
