a twin cylinder motorcycle is considered better than a single cylinder engine,
technically, the motorcycle has 49 cylinders, the 48 cylinder lump is slightly harder to start than your conventional motorcycle engine, so instead of an electronic starter motor, a "donkey engine", a little sub-50cc engine, is started and in turn that starts the 48 cylinder engine,
but before you rush off to see it, the motorcycle was on exhibit at the V&A (Victoria and Albert) Museum, so at times it's not at the Hertfordshire Superbike Centre, it is well-known and as you might expect there are lots of requests for it to appear at shows around the country, so ring first, 01707 66 33 44 and do not forget to look at the Guinness World Records Certificate to prove it's claim as the road going vehicle engine with the most cylinders.
