You can't give a bike booze!

They tried it make it go to rehab but it said: "No, no, no. I'm a motorbike."

Of course the Rapom V8 motorbike can't actually speak, that would just be silly but it probably should go to rehab as it is run completely on pure alcohol.

The bike, created by Nick Argyle, is the most powerful motorbike in Britain and, aside from its fuel source, has some quite ridiculous figures.

The driving force behind the roadworthy bike is the 8.2-litre supercharged V8 monster truck engine.  

It generates 1,000bhp, from a quite simply preposterous 8,193cc engine, which is pretty powerful.

To put it into perspective, it generates as much power as five Mini Cooper engines, or ten Supersports 600cc motorbikes bolted together.

Argyle says that he created the bike in his garage right after he sold the chassis to his monster truck.

"I didn't have the same workshop space I had when I built the truck," he said. "I only had the house garage so it had to be a bike.

"I was going to buy a new engine for the project but my wife told me to use the one that was still in a garage - a monster truck engine! Despite its size, I thought why not."

Thank goodness he did. The Rapom V8 will be on display at the MCN London Motorcycle Show at the ExCeL between February 1st and February 4th.
