The SuperTen is no longer the "world's biggest dirtbike"



An ethnic Uighur man Abulajon drives his self-made motorcycle during a test in Manas county, Xinjiang Uighur autonomous region, April 27, 2013. Abulajon, a 30-year-old Uighur worker from a sewage treatment plant, spent a year making his 0.3 ton motorcycle measuring 4.3 metres (14 feet) in length and 2.4 metres (7.8 feet) in height, although it makes it impossible for him to drive it on the street. It cost him about 8000 yuan ($1300) to buy all the parts from salvage stations and the converted engine can power the motorcycle with a speed of 40 km per hour (24.8 miles per hour), local media reported.

Just reread the caption. If that thing weighs 0.3 ton - then it is about the same weight as our beloved pigs. Hard to believe...
The front wheel and tire would weigh 0.3 Ton. Must have big tons over there. The hi Bay lighting looks like it may be a good thing though :D

Sure, but once it gets moving all that weight disappears and you'd be shocked at how nimble 2300 pounds can be.
