It's easy to joke about it ('cause it IS pretty funny), but I find the use of AI Bots to generate these voice-over monologues quite disturbing (and somewhat sinister)...
I believe the statement regarding the center of gravity being higher is incorrect. Having owned a GL1200 and a GL1800, I will boldly state that the optimum center of gravity is somewhere between those two bikes, favoring the 1200 over the 1800. The 1200 was the evolution of what was learned from the 1000. They lowered the engine in the 1200 for improved stability and it absolutely made the bike more planted and safer to drive. If you lost the rear in a corner, you had all day to get it back under control before the bike went down. In contrast, if you loose the 1800, it will slam you to the ground. You can't push the bike, because point of no return is a sharp precipice that occurs with no warning. Yes, it makes the steering lighter and maybe easier to enter a corner, but you have no feel and the bike lacks inherent stability. While it was ok to raise the center of gravity compared to the 1200, they raised it too far and made the bike unstable.
If you are talking about a cruiser, then a longer bike with a lower centre of gravity will certainly make the bike more stable, conversely it will also make it less nimble and less easy to brake quickly, because there is less weight transfer to the front wheel with a lower C of G. In ultimate performance terms a higher C of G is preferred, but for a cruiser, stability is obviously a better characteristic.
Another example of people with more money than sense. Imagine a heavy Gyroscope (crank) rotating at high speed. Any kid who has ever played with gyroscopes or has spun a bicycle wheel in their hands, will know how hard that resists movement. between vertical and horizontal. No wonder it looks like it handles like a lead weight on the end of a pole. Over half a mill for something that sounds like a british triple is crazy.
The big issues that i see on this beautiful engineering is the oil, as the oil always hitting the piston that will decrease the energy specialy in high RPM, i mean hey that engine was something extra ordinary, but it's not practical to use upsidedown piston in motorcycle, V engine or Boxer engine is much more make sense when comes in improvement, hey but at least we see some discovery in the world of sports bike!
there is a huge bulk between the riders knees, making it impossible to hold the bike with the knees, the higher center of gravity will make the bike more tipsy (i.e. high enduro bikes) and lastly the sound has nothing to do with the upside down engine
No, but thank you for sharing this! :) @@konradkiaser1343 What I found: (motor cross action mag) "In theory, the answer is nothing, but in practice, there are major differences. Whereas Husaberg tried to move the rotating mass of the engine’s crankshaft closer to the center of gravity by flipping the engine up and over, Yamaha angled its cylinder backward to get the rotational inertia of the cams nearer to the sweet spot, but not the crankshaft. ... places the rotating mass of the crankshaft closer to the bike’s center of gravity. With the rotating mass closer to the center of gravity, the torque effect on the chassis is greatly reduced. In layman’s terms, Husaberg put the part of the engine that wreaks havoc on handling as close as possible to the place where it will have the least effect on handling. Simple but clever. The drawback is that Husaberg moved the heaviest parts of the engine upwards (and when gravity kicks in, you can feel it)." Cool stuff! :D
Seems to me that this design is more complicated because the crankshaft is out of the plane of the rear axel, so the transmission of power is more complicated. Second I would think that this thing has to high a centre of gravity, and therefore be difficult to handle.
If it can remain aircooled will be a feat of it's own - Great. I like the the intakes and exhaust down low in the wind. The Location of the transmission and getting to the rear wheel is interesting.
This machine sounds wonderful! It seemed to be idling through the curves. There’s a lot to be said for large capacity doing little work, particularly for touring and street use.
He was keeping the revs low in the curves to get the bike to turn better. The higher the rpm causes greater gyroscopic effect with the crank, transmission and clutch so high in the frame. Lower rpm, slower rotating mass.
The gyroscopic effect of the spinning mass causes problems with changes of direction. One of the very many reasons no MotoGP bikes use it. This is one hell of an engine this guy has created though. It just seems a little pointless.
Exhausts facing backward on an air-cooled cylinder? That is a huge ouch. So the side cooled by intake charge gets direct airblast, and the exhaust-heated side is leeward? Well, maybe skip the aircraft engine references if you are going to violate principle #1 of every air-cooled aircraft engine, ever.
Uniqueness can and should be the only reason to do anything! Better or worse is not an issue... Over the last 100 years how many motors have been built in all machines across the board...? So, since it was built and functions well that's all that's needed... Dreams Passions Reality! Keep the dreams coming!!!
That is definitely the least frame I've ever seen on a bike. And also, a hella huge engine. And I love the intake and exhaust layout. It's gorgeous, and I would definitely ride the hell out of one if I could afford it.

I love half faired motorcycles. They show the technology but combine it with sleek looks and decent aerodynamics.

Beauty is completely subjective and can massively change to the beholder based on relized flaws or perfections. This motor hits me as BUTT ugly however as i heard the claimed power and weight I realize it could dramatically grow on me if I were allowed to ride it and it was able to delight me. I have had the privlege of knowing women I originally thought were homely or even down right ugly but then as I spent more time with them eventually they transformed into truly beautiful highly desirable women! And the opposite has also been sadly true when an at first stunning woman quickly became hideous in my eyes simply because she was such an ugly person...all filed under "ya really can not judge a book by it's cover',,,,my 2 cents
The impact of CoG height on ease of cornering (for two wheelers), at least when entering the corner, is actually the opposite of what your intuition suggests. But it would be a pig to re-right if you dropped it.

I had a similar idea, only crank down and build a VR8 basically. With individual heads with tubes for the cams and even considered two, (counter rotating) cranks! With two intake systems, carbs or sequential EFI, with single throttle twin plenums, or, a inverted two stroke V8-v12 using something similar to CR80 cylinders, to yz125-250 cylinders 12 cylinders may be a bit much, nearly 1000cc of 2,stroke x engine, inverted, with nearly 100cc per cylinder, using a stroker crank push the displacement closer to 98- with a crank case breathing v or vr12 Narrow angle 12 cylinder and having an opposed cylinder would be cool like having a double action 6 cylinder, the cylinder fires, piston is fired down, then fired back up!! Even a 8cyiinder would be cool.. especially with crank getting air fuel and lube straight on it, with up to 8, 250-350 cc. Cylinders add some stroke it should get about 20cc+/-, adding about 12mm additional stroke, it could be 50cc, additional, and I'd never know.. haven't done the maths! With a minimum frame, carbon rims, 300hp should be possible at a weight of 325-400 lbs +/- especially if air cooled a engine with 6 Cylinders up, 6 down.. with the carbs or EFI spraying from the front into the crank case with a transmission on the opposite side with exhaust on the back with 4 silencers ,or. Even with 4up, 4down offset enough for a sealed crankcase under each cylinder or two cranks counter rotating with about 2mm of aluminum between the crankcases. A flat 8 would likely be better fitting wise, unless using 50-80cc cylinders . 😮
I don't like it from watching him cornering, the low CoG of a normally mounted bike counter acts the high CoG of the rider, inverting the engine just pushes the CoG of the bike higher, the tyres will break traction before a conventionally mounted engine bike, no? Yuck,I Don't like Trail Bikes or anything top heavy. Hondas 1000cc delivers 180hp , that's 800cc less and producing 20hp more.
what engine is at the begining of 26 seconds?? I googled drysdale engine, ducati elenore, The double crank conected by a gear looks awesome!!! Getting rid of wobble you could also get rid of O-rings If you electriclly pre heat the engine you could have atomic clearances using a edm machine. I mean holy shit that would be the best engine ever.
Interesting concept of a bike , I usually moan about background music myself but didn't find it overwhelming in this vid , too interested in the facts you were conveying.. As this concept is intriguing and unusual, absolutely shocked though at the suggested retail price, overall I enjoyed the vid, thank you
As others have noted, a weird mish-mash of accents and choice of words, and the music doesn't add much. Bike is a really interesting concept. Want to like it more, but it's such a prototype. Lots more needs to be done before it could be called 'beautiful' as it was called in the video. Pipe and cables need better routing/hiding and the intake and exhaust need to be much more stylish before this can come together as a cohesive package.
Watch out for OIL LOCK! Radial engines from aircraft must be cranked manualy to make sure there is no oil lock. This means that engine oil is poored in the lowest cylinders and (since oil is not compressible unlike air) can block the engine during start phase. Is you push too hard, the engine can damage. I hope the motorcycle engineers have found a propper solution.
Needs more engine sounds than chatting.

Getting rid of wobble you could also get rid of O-rings If you electriclly pre heat the engine you could have atomic clearances using a edm machine. I mean holy shit that would be the best engine ever.
The double crankshaft engine is a Neander diesel, not Drysdale. Here : ruclips.net/video/gwIb-f5_mkI/видео.html
Interesting concept of a bike , I usually moan about background music myself but didn't find it overwhelming in this vid , too interested in the facts you were conveying.. As this concept is intriguing and unusual, absolutely shocked though at the suggested retail price, overall I enjoyed the vid, thank you
As others have noted, a weird mish-mash of accents and choice of words, and the music doesn't add much. Bike is a really interesting concept. Want to like it more, but it's such a prototype. Lots more needs to be done before it could be called 'beautiful' as it was called in the video. Pipe and cables need better routing/hiding and the intake and exhaust need to be much more stylish before this can come together as a cohesive package.
You surely wouldn't want to bottom it against the slightest obstacle.
They just disagree because of one reason, it symbolized H1tL3R.
Watch out for OIL LOCK! Radial engines from aircraft must be cranked manualy to make sure there is no oil lock. This means that engine oil is poored in the lowest cylinders and (since oil is not compressible unlike air) can block the engine during start phase. Is you push too hard, the engine can damage. I hope the motorcycle engineers have found a propper solution.
