I use to work with a guy I called Bull tits because he was useless. One time I told him to grab me a rake and he brought back a shovel. Our boss put him on a demo job alone to just take out the Sheetrock I went to that job a few days later to take over and he was tearing out one piece at a time and taking it out to the dumpster outside. Useless
It made my fingers go numb just to watch these huge one-cylinder bikes. It was worth it though just to hear the really irritating "on hold" music which reminded me of being trapped for two hours in an elevator. I swear, TechnoLogic is coming for me!
3liters of engine capacity in a single cylinder is massive, but no comparsion to the old stationary single cylinder monsters. Probably the biggest of them has 110x more capacity than the 3 liter bike: The "De La Vergne" engine is a single cylinder engine built in 1903. It is rated 125 HP and 4100 ft-lbs. of torque (at 160 RPM!), has 26" bore and 38" stroke. That equals 20,175 cubic inches or 330 liters! Btw: the biggest single cylinder engine I've witnessed in real life is the 10.3 liter engine that's used in the biggest version of the "Lanz Bulldog" tractor. Probably the biggest single cylinder that's used in a vehicle.
New challenge: build a motorcycle with a 10l Lanz Single-Cylinder Engine. And Second Challenge: Make this beast road-legal in Germany! There might be a slight problem with halting on Traffic lights when your bike is jumping each power stroke about 1m in height.
While that's big for internal combustion, for REALLY BIG, you need external combustion & steam. Try a bore of 100 inches (2.54m) with a stroke of 132 inches (3.35m). Okay, not practical in a bike (or any mobile structure really). Housed at the London Museum of Water & Steam, it's currently a non-runner, but it's sister engine is still running, and with a 90" (2.28m) cylinder (same stroke), is the largest single cylinder running engine in the world...
In the 1980s, Lucky Kaiser made a V twin motorbike with 2 cylinders from a Rolls Royce Merlin engine. 5000cc which is the same size as the Flying Millyard.
@@mlww5746 Allan Millyard wasn't the first to build a 5000cc V twin motorcycle but did Lucky Kaiser build his own frame wereas Allan Millyard did and dose Lucky Kaiser still ride his 5000cc V twin motorcycle
"The (radial airplane engine) cylendar was not considered to be suitable for use in a motorcycle because of the weight of the piston." I think you''d better talk with Alan Millyard who built a motorcycle engine with, not one, but TWO cylinders, also from an old radial airplane engine. His works beautifully. So I'm not sure what you were basing that statement on.

Hi David I was about to write my comment then hesitated and clicked your link to find it was basically my comment, aye Allan's is cool but is smaller at only 2.5liters per cylinder
@@johngibson3837 I also immediately thought of the Flying Millyard, but being a v-twin, it doesn't count. Maybe Allan will make a 5 litre single one day.

A video about big engines without engine sound, is about as useful to me as tits on a boar.

Beautiful workmanship,,, very resourceful Peoples
In the 1970'S BSA had the 441 Victor Special.
It thumped pretty good up hills.
Their 500cc B50 was even larger
And the Phelon and Moore Panther model 120 at 645cc climbed hills like a Sherpa

Pretty cool mate, why the annoying music all the time though ? I'd much rather hear you explain, and hear some tinkering, or engine sounds.

cheap vid
didnt learn and use what others do
there are million's of critic's out there
@@raypitts4880 I'm not sure what the hate is on the music, it really wasn't that bad.
The 1000 was cool. That HG3000 looks like two bikes stacked in a pile at a junkyard
Dam pity on music choice. Can’t watch it for long

We didn't get to hear one Engine. WT actual F.
That’s because you didn’t watch the whole video. I saw atleast one being ridden
Everyone shitting on this vid like they would do better.
Was interesting. I consider subscribing.
Great video thanks
When I read the title I thought "Lanz Bulldog entered the chat" 😀 but it's about motorcycles.

CANT IMAGINE THAT NSU 2000 ,THROTTLE OPEN,WAITING FOR THAT. GREEN LIGHT.
End result of all these bikes: ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta.
Ever hear of Allen Millyard? He has a 5 liter twin motorcycle. It works and he rides it.
sure... check the latest video.. 👌
I can’t wait until somebody finds some Fairbanks Morse parts ! 😆
Awesome....Thank you.....

The forks weren't springers, it was a girder. The biggest single cylinder engine is over 80,000 cubic inches. Not cm. It still runs today.
'World’s Biggest Single Cylinder Engine' ??? This is small fry. Indeed you show absolutely miniscule engines compared to some.
Allen Millyard built a 5-liter Vtwin motorcycle. That's two 2500cc cylinders.
Am I missing something? You said the motor with 99mm bore and 111mm stroke had 958ccm. I calculated it to be around 850ccm. Pi/4 x bore² x stroke.
Not an expert, but I think that is a girder front end. Not a springer.
yes great video but don't get the music overlay not good
thank you.. noted!
Had a xt 500 yamaha single cylinder.was strong
Moment I saw the thumbnail I knew it was a radial aircraft engine cylinder 😁
It sounds like a fishing boat 😅
You may ask, why would one go through such trouble? I'd say, if you loved NSU the way we do, if you've ever owned one, you'd know why.
Royal Enfield have shown for decades, you can build reliable, single cylinder engines.
The bison was just a ball smasher 😂
Royal Enfield India has also shown for dedcades, you can build not so reliable single cylinder engines.
The largest single was a motorcar engine built about 1901
What about BMW 5ltr single aircraft engine
They have never seen a John Deere tractor engine such as a model A,B, or D in the years 1935-1948 that is why they were called johnny poppers
What do you mean 1x4.2? Is that mean 4.2 to 1 compression ratio?
YEP
Not everyday you see a bike with a wooden fork.
