The Triumph company, which has been manufacturing motorcycles for 900
years, makes the world's biggest production motorcycle, the Triumph
Rocket III.  This is a great short film from Triumph, showing how the
Rocket III  is made.  Can you believe it all starts with the center of
gravity?



And remember, whatever you do, don't drop your badger in the road!

Is the Amazonas then out of production?

We have a couple of bikes here in the US made with 305 CI (I believe)
Chevy V8s.  I have actually seen two or three of these bikes in the
real world. They look absolutely bizarre, like something a clown would
ride in a circus, a parody of overblown cruiserdom.  I'm not sure if
they'd qualify as 'production' motorcycles, though.  Or the Amazonas,
which I have seen only in magazines.  At least the Rocket III has its
own purpose-built engine.

Even if were still in production, it would be smaller capacity.
