If you happen to’re into saving gas stops, you would possibly like the brand new Honda Monkey Acerbis is betting will beat the “World’s Biggest Distance on a Single Tank of Gasoline by a Motorbike (prototype).”
To beat the report, this little Mammalia took a much-needed tweak or two within the tank division. 250 miles wouldn’t do, so the Acerbis crew got here up with one thing a tad… unorthodox.
A short time later, and the bike’s 1.6 gallon tank has ballooned to carry 28.5 gallons.
Dang factor is so huge it makes the Monkey appear like a water gun.
With the addition of a gasoline container serving as tank, seat and fairings, Honda’s Monkey is now prepared to begin her 2700-mile pilgrimage. The plan is to begin in Albino, Italy, passing by means of Brenner, Austria, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Finland to make an eventual end in Nordkapp, Norway – all on a single (sizeable) tank of gasoline.
Ought to the Acerbis crew (Andrea Rastrelli, Alicia Sornosa, and Maurizio Vettor) beat the report, we’re informed they’ll strive even additional, with purported plans to “experience on till the final drop of gas has been used to see how far the little bike actually can go” (by way of Visordown).
