There is no too complicated. Only people which are too dump to solve a damn problem. Face it guys.

Saved!!! Good info. Thank you

Are you recording in a bathroom?

Really interesting, especially sillustrating difference between good race car engine v bike. ( do find it ironic a reasons given why 2-strokes were dropped included engines were becoming too powerful & uncontrollable = Aprilla “hold my beer” 250hp😳...😂)

A loose gas cap was the source for the fire, confirmed by Colin Edwards

Um, no it is the torque applied that lifts the front wheel.

So basically cosworth made a crap engine

I max out at 48 degrees and even that feels insane. 64?!?!? That’s just bonkers

Dear aprilia(Cause youre definitly reading youtube comments) go back and remake this bike with modern components please. -Signed Random on the internet

The Dream Engine!!!

0:55 no you don't.

Asymmetrical shape

Pnematic valve springs RIbe by wire ? Cosworth several years in F1 ! Several decades more like . Man the spelling on this vid is as bad as the info.

No one was cheating . The tires are over heating and the teams where lowering pressure so the high heat did not blow tires . FYI manufacturers did not lower pressurers enough to gain an advantage of higher grip

Michlein acts like they they know something when all the did is engineer and build every aspect of the tire...how the hell does that make them the expert obviously riders and team techs know better....who cares if they no nothing about the chemistry and engineering

2005 never raced and…it was also rubbish? What a dick!😅

Great video!!! The bike might be a piece of shit but it looks amazing and the sound was even better!!!!

Who made the engine for the Mille R-SP again ?

Pretty sure Ilmore (noted CART & F1 engine builder, later became Mercedes F1 powertrain) did a similar thing @ roughly the same time..?

I'm sure Yamaha is developing an 850cc V4 right now for the 2027 regulations.

Still feel like they should be allowed to choose there own tyre company

As an F1 fan,I CAN'T ESCAPE REDBULL

I was at Donington in 2002, watching Regis Laconi fighting hard on that bike, toasting anyone’s nose who got close under brakes as the Aprilia shot 4ft flames out the back! 😂 What an animal! It sounded absolutely incredible, like no other 3cyl before or since! Colin Edwards’ summary that it was “Born Bad” was absolutely spot on…

and now they produce the Aprilia MotoGP rocketship

Didn't VW also make a V5? Not sure why they did it.

Which commercial motorcycle has a V4?

When?? The Italian brands cheat like hell and the fim helps them. The fim can't stand how dominant the Japanese brands have always been so they helped Aprilia and Ducati get to the front. Why do you think that as soon as they enforced the "controlled ECUs", all of a sudden Ducati and Aprilia had the most horsepower by some margin. Its a joke, look at the fims bias in formula one with Ferrari, Ferrari gets away with murder

They should build a 2+4 stroke engine combined. Two 250 cc cylinders running 2-stroke and three 330 cc cylinders running 4-stroke. On the same crankshaft.

Would a bit more mass on the crank have helped the electronics manage the power delivery much better? Surely today’s advanced electronics would have no trouble taming such a thing. Everyone who races motorcycles understands it’s not bout how much power you have, it’s how much you can use, especially while on the edge of the tire.

Maybe they should have looked at the failure of the Norton Cosworth, before going to Cosworth for another chopped down F1 motorcycle engine.

U forget to say they start this adventure with Dunlop in an era when having Michelin was 1second better. Bike was a masterpiece of aero, engine and electronics.

Sorry....but you talk BS.

A heavier flywheel would have solved the problem

Sounded good and looked good though 👍🏿

Dude, you ever been on a race track?!

otherwise I don't think that I need to actually watch this. Was a point in time where I actually cared about this stuff and that was right after Ducati switched over to using their WSBK V4 engine in their MotoGP bike, well after Honda switched over, still back when KTM was just hanging onto a MotoGP grid space by a thread. Now it's the entire grid other than Yamaha? LOL that might mean something if I knew or cared who was on the grid :) Is Marc Marquez still in retirement (and racing wheelchairs) or is he back to racing in MotoGP now? any chance that they are going to switch back to 500cc engines?

geez from the look of this video you can get a bank to loan you money to buy a house just by saying that you plan to make YT videos about MotoGP in it probably the "footbal" market is too oversaturated for that unless you're in Venezuela or Brazil

Ahh, the Cube... the little Tiki Torch! Ask Colin Edwards about this thoughts on this bike..

i think any bike would out accelerate an F1 car, what you probably meant was that f1 cars can brake later and harder - as unintuitive as it sounds the better you can stop the faster you are. F1 cars actually carry more speed in the corners as they have more grip and the advantage of aero pushing down. The cube was unstable so didnt handle stopping particularly well, and wasnt too happy squirting out of corners.

I own a 99 blade and a 2001 vfr800fi , obviously early days of v4 and 100cc less ,inline four blade lighter as well so counter to current v4 dominance.Had a 2000 Vtr1000f as well until last year just to compare all three(very torquey)
