 SEMA Silliness: Bourget's 425-hp V-8 Quadracycle, the Shredder F-80« »

SEMA has been known to host some pretty silly machines, and Bourget's Bike Works is making sure that the 2007 show is no exception. Next week, the small custom bike shop will be taking the wraps off its now Shredder F-80, a mish-mash of Porsche, Chevrolet, and custom parts that is bound to result in a Darwin Award nominee or two. Powering what can be called a four-wheel motorcycle is a 425-hp Chevy small block, while the body is all custom-crafted aluminum. Bourget's plans to build 25 of these a year at a price of $90,000. Good luck.

What's the point of using round-section motorcycle tires? Motorcycles need tires with a shape like that to corner. A four-wheeled vehicle is far better-off with the tread square to the ground. You can even see here that 2/3 of the tread isn't even being used.

The thing is all about looks and bragging rights, why would you need to drive it for?

Which is funny because it certainly does not deliver in the looks department.

The topic says Quadracycle, but I was still hoping for a 425hp Quadricycle.

Oh no, a typo two-fer! I can't be expected to be able to press the correct keys in the a.m. hours. It's fixed, thanks for catching it.
