Longest Motor Bike EVER!!!

Colin Furze's 72ft motorbike can seat 25 – and what's more he's proved it can be driven at speeds of 35mph.

Admittedly only Mr Furze was on the bike at the time of the test drive, but with a few suspension modifications it's possible he could load up with passengers.

At the head of the bike, he used one-and-a-half 125cc mopeds and an extended aluminium frame to create the machine. He is hoping it will be recognised as the world's longest motorbike by the Guinness Book of Records.

He managed to get the bike, which is worth around €4,000, up to 35mph, but found it almost impossible to steer.

To make it into the record books, Colin had to drive the bike 100 metres, but amazingly he managed to ride more than a mile.

He will now send the video along with signed witness statements to Guinness World of Records, so they can verify it.

Colin already holds the world record for the fastest mobility scooter, which he built to go at a remarkable 71mph.

'This motorbike was so heavy and difficult to drive I think it would be impossible to make a longer bike. I think this record will stand for a very long time," he added.

According to Guinness World of Records the longest motorbike in the world until now was 14 metres.
