[Moto] This bike with 24 chainsaw engines and 170 hp is almost faster than a Suzuki Hayabusa. and there is video

"The world has been made by the mad for the sane," said Oscar Wilde. In a way we can adapt this famous phrase to motorcycling lovers and those exaggeratedly crazy but interesting and fun creations.

Although the tuner scene has changed a lot in the last decade, there was a time in the early 2000s that was all about imagining a bike and creating absolute genius. For example, the Dolmette, a motorcycle that uses twelve chainsaw engines and has scandalous figures: 170 CV. More than a Hayabusa of the time.

Five speeds and Harley-Davidson gearbox

To put ourselves in context, when we talk about crazy creations, we are referring to real atrocities on two wheels, like that Briton who built a Kawasaki with 4,200 cc and 48 cylinders that we talked about recently.

Madness or genius? Ambassador The protagonist of today could well be at its height, the Dolmette. A motorcycle with almost 20 years that we rescued from the YouTube newspaper library to get to know in depth, because a motorcycle with 24 chainsaw engines deserves it, right?

His father is Rötger Feldmann, a German cartoonist whose muse was motorcycles and his canvas was a blank piece of paper. Feldmann was the creator of Werner, a po[CENSORED]r German animated character. I imagined strange and bizarre motorcycles; It was ironic with the strict TÜV, the German vehicle inspection.

The cartoonist loved motorcycles, but he was not a mechanic, nor a pilot, nor anything related to motorcycles beyond the fact that he liked them. The Dolmette was born on one of his canvases, a motorcycle he built in 2004 using a previous idea he had with another motorcycle, the Red Porsche Killer (a motorcycle with many horses and a Dantesque appearance).

Nothing else occurred to him than to put Dolmar chainsaw engines (a German brand), each of them 160 cc and two times. Between all of them they have a combined displacement of 1.9 liters and 170 CV of power. To put ourselves in context, 2004, Suzuki marketed the Hayabusa with a power of 175 CV.

Not content with the drawing, Feldmann convinced the company that sold the chainsaws (Dolmar) to build the bike, and they succeeded. They even took care of sponsoring the motorcycle with advertising to cascoporro (as you can see above).

This torque monster transferred power from the engines to a Harley-Davidson five-speed gearbox via 12 timing belts. Then each motor has to be started individually... And yes, it's as expected, exactly like a chainsaw: by pulling. Imagine all 12 engines purring at the same time (and the arm of whoever has to start them).
