So you think you can just throw 2 R1 engines at each other and then they magically become a V8? Of course they had to make the engine block from scratch and then use parts of Yamahas R1 engine.
@@JEC606 i dont think he understands what the word 'completely' means. its an amazing bike and im sure it took more skills and experience than putting together a LEGO set, but when someone talks 💩 it kinda discredits everything else they say
Ive seen Dyno runs with the H2R where it produces 326 hp at the rear wheel. Plus, the H2R is 20 kg lighter, I'm betting the H2R would be quicker. And his claim that the engine is, "built from scratch' is not true, it has R1 top ends and components from other bikes. Yet he says forced induction is 'cheating'. Im an Aussie by the way.
I am an Aussie too, and all they did was copy another Aussie Mr Drysdale, except they did it 30yrs later 😢 and up sized it, even the same company Japanese (Yamaha 4cylinder) they took the engine from 😢😢
That engine in my 1400kg car would be more than enough for me. In a bike? Nah mate, the very idea of it terrifies me. It's a beautifully mental machine which deserves more media exposure than the Ninja.
It is probably easier to ride than a CBX1100 or Z1300 and must handle much better too. But I agree, I'd rather see a blend of 2 zx6 engines into a v8 blend with zx1400 trans, a v8 with 15k rpm safe redline and 250hp? What helps with the R1 is that the cams are ready you don't need to make special ones, with the cross plain crank.
"No one has used more than 28% throttle" Meanwhile Ghostrider was wheeleing his 500 HP naked turbobusa at 300+ KM/H... Let someone with skills and balls ride this instead of beating around the bush.
This is why he chose the R1 X-plane because it is already half a V8, to make a v8 with a flat crank you will break the crank or it would be so massive it would defeat the purpose.
Sounds awsome. Absolutely fenominal, so clean and beautifully done. I want one make lots more and ship them everywhere, please Please. Ill try and save enough money
But the advantage of supercharger and turbos is that you can make great horsepower with a smaller engine, thus shaving weight. So if you want these horsepower numbers but have a real agile bike for handling , then turbos and supercharger is a great option. So it really comes down in what you want your bike to do!
Only for Applications like drg racing, speed records or if you are "Ghost Rider". Turbo Bikes from the 1980s have shown that most Riders are better off with CB900, GPZ/ GSX 1100 etc.
@@slippingsnaketurbo tech has greatly improved since then. Im sure you remember what the turbo cars where like as well from the same era. Spool time and unreliably. Comparing say a turbo R6 vs a R1. Sure the R1 would be a better choice. Placement is a big problem on aftermarket setups. A 320hp machine a turbo may be the only way. Can only increase displacement on a 4 cyl so much before u need more cylinders to mantain the hp per liter. You cant say a 200hp na R1 is gonna beat a properly sized, tuned and modern controlled 320hp turbo R1 at anything besides a kart track. The power is gonna do more then the 40 lbs. But none of it is gonna happen anyway.

Yeah but no but, ideally you need to start with a lighter more well balanced production car or better still, a light well balanced production car that was slightly rear heavy originally, so that it becomes perfectly balanced. Then you have more chance to use that amount of power. So that engine in something like a Toyota MR2 MK1, or indeed anything mid engine rear wheel drive under 1 metric tonne, possibly a Lotus Elise MK1 or Fiat X1/9.

An excellent engineering achievement for certain. But to compare this to the H2R? The V8 isnt too bad aesthetically, zero fairing means that high speed performance is you hanging on for dear life unprotected in the slipstream, the fuel burn would be epic until the peanut tank ran dry at the end of the street.

This thing is awesome! God bless people like this, and Britten, and Buell, However…..I have a burning question- Why aren’t the major manufacturers producing tiny, lightweight turbo or supercharged bikes? Imagine a 500 cc twin making 200+ horsepower while weighing in at 300 lbs! Modern electronics could make it work. Cmon…even economy cars are turbocharged today. Shouldn’t MotoGP look into future of high-efficiency bikes?
Now that Is a fast Motorcycle, I started riding in 1968, and I've had some very fast bikes of that era, for example Kawasaki H-II 750 two stroke triple, when It came out In 1972, It was the fastest quarter mile production motorcycle on the Planet, It was my sixth motorcycle and I was 14 years old, then I started drag racing and the bike was much faster than the Kawasaki, I know some people won't believe this but It Is true. 👊 😎 Subbed. 🇦🇺
My uncle used to have an original H2 750 back in the day too, sold it after it tried to kill him for the third time haha. Beast of a bike, especially on 1970's tyres and brakes.
I would love a tandem 2 seater street version of a Cross Kart using this 2 liter V8… something that would have the performance of a bike, but as a street Kart for 2 people, and at a price that wouldn’t compete with Ferraris and such… but instead compete with sport bikes.
Go looking for the Drysdale V8 which pre-dates this and used smaller Yamaha 4 cylinder, and was also from Australia. This bike seems to use some of the same engineering ideas, with more capacity and therefore power and torque.
Just makes you think when over 10 years ago Ghost Rider was riding a 500hp turbo-Busa in Sweden and Germany. He was doing throttle wheelies at 350 km/h. That thing could probably do 450 km/h if stability wasnt an issue
A note for the narrator. The word is akra-pov-ic rather than a-krap-ovic. Just to keep the language pure A F! Now, moving right along, thousands of us would literally LOVE to have a modern F1 V8 in a nicely balanced motorcycle chassis! Good on ya Mates'! And backspin @ 200 MPH would become a common reality, without considering what it will do at Km/h!?
I'd gladly flip the bird at the cops with this monster. They wouldn't have time to read the plate. The price is almost as incredible as this machine, but your bragging rights would go unquestioned doing 200klm+ with wheel spin. Congrats to the builders.
At $180,000, it's not likely to get into the hands of your average motorcyclist. Australia seems to make great one-off motorcycles, but seems to fail in bringing any of these motorcycles to production. The bikes are amazing--remember Britten? But they always remain in the hands of the very few. Enjoyed the video. Nice bike--nice story--for now.
Was not there also a Viper engined Bike produced ? And what about the Boss Hoss... Aren't they also production bikes? And also does not the R1 have 200 and more HP ? So why do two engines bring 330 instead of 400 HP ?
a open wheel midget team in newzealand built two similar engines which they ran when they made the trip to the chilli bowl in the usa were called synergy v8s
What’s even crazier is that the 2012 f1 cars had 750hp from 2.4L. Idk how they did it. Ik they had kers, but a 95kg, 2.4L v8 shouldn’t make 750hp naturally aspirated
Those engines were all out engineering with a very specific tolerance and how long they last Ik they need a rebuild (don't quote me on this: i think every 2 races or so maybe more or less) When long lasting reliability is outta the question you can push any engine to its absolute limits
How nice it would be to fit this engine into a customised drag frame and observe the development starting standard (lol), then through each category to top nitro. Sponsors....anyone? 💯🤓
How can They claim it’s the most powerful “Production” bike, when he’s only built 1 bike when I last spoke to him approx July ‘23? That’s not production that a prototype.
Big deal!!! I have a 2016 Triumph Rocket III with 280hp-195ft/lbs torque at the rear wheel, naturally aspirated 2.3L engine. Built by Carpenter Racing. It's a true Beast. It smokes the rear tire in all 5 gears.😱

What’s even crazier is that the 2012 f1 cars had 750hp from 2.4L. Idk how they did it. Ik they had kers, but a 95kg, 2.4L v8 shouldn’t make 750hp naturally aspirated
Those engines were all out engineering with a very specific tolerance and how long they last
Ik they need a rebuild (don't quote me on this: i think every 2 races or so maybe more or less)
When long lasting reliability is outta the question you can push any engine to its absolute limits
As a bike it's a bit of a "who cares?" because it just wheelspins. But as an engine for a lightweight hillclimb car.... Holy Shit.......
Maybe more Power than the Kawa...but surely Not faster...so what😂?????😊
Not mass produced and how many h2s can I buy for one of these? What's the weight? Useless power when you are spinning.
I've often wondered why the many mc manufacturers hav'nt come out with a V-8.
It sounds amazing. I’d love to ride one
it would be so cool to make a W8 2Liter bike
I say a vr7 would be nifty
My god, that exhaust has me makin white over here
How nice would that engine be in something like a Caterham?
I want to know how heavy it is, and doesn't the H2R Kwakka have the same power but it's lighter, love to hear anyone's thoughts 😅😅
A great looking Bike 👍
This is interesting,but Triumph makes the Rocket GT R
Yes, with only three cylinders and not even half the power per liter displacement. That IS not competeable
How nice it would be to fit this engine into a customised drag frame and observe the development starting standard (lol), then through each category to top nitro. Sponsors....anyone? 💯🤓
Absolutely stunning in every way. Eye watering $180K but hey, you'll have the only one in your state...
Is that using flat plane or cross plane crankshaft ?
I believe it's based on 2 inline 4/Flat plane engine's. Sounds sick and mean
When will this go on the market in the US?
How can They claim it’s the most powerful “Production” bike, when he’s only built 1 bike when I last spoke to him approx July ‘23? That’s not production that a prototype.
$180,000? I’ll just write a check.
I'm sure the NHRA is already figuring out the language in their Ban letter.
No, they just want to restrict it to top fuel and alcohol burners!
You know just to weed out the wannabe test pilots!
it's criminal to have all that power in a streetfighter platform
Oh my. How much are kidneys going for these days ?
I need one
Can it do off road??
Big deal!!! I have a 2016 Triumph Rocket III with 280hp-195ft/lbs torque at the rear wheel, naturally aspirated 2.3L engine. Built by Carpenter Racing. It's a true Beast. It smokes the rear tire in all 5 gears.😱
