Check Out This Bonkers 48-Cylinder Custom Kawasaki

Called the Tinker Toy, it was built to be a Guinness World Record holder, and Whitelock’s Tinker Toy continues to hold the record for the “Vehicle engine with the most cylinders.” Yep, that’s right, the vehicle with the most cylinders isn’t a plane, car, or boat, it’s a motorcycle.

There are a total of 48-cylinders on this motorcycle, which comes out to a total of 4,200ccs, or about 256 cubic inches. A grand total of 16 Kawasaki KH250 three-cylinder engines were used in the making of this bike, and all the motors are arranged in “six banks of eight and are completely road-legal” according to the bike’s entry in the Guinness World Records.
