Hyperbike PGM V8 2000cc engine sound

- There appears to be no shortage of audacity in Australia, evidenced by at least three motorcycles from Oz that are powered by V-8 engines. The originator was Ian Drysdale, who first mated a pair of four-cylinder banks to a common crankshaft in the late 1990s. In 2015, we saw the intimidating Aurora Hellfire OZ26, powered by a home-built 2575cc V-8 claimed to produce 417 horsepower.
Recently we ran across this latest V-8 from Oz, the PGM V8, which is the brainchild of Pat Maloney. After retiring from jobs as a mechanic in World Superbike and at Sauber F1, where he helped develop the ill-fated Petronas three-cylinder MotoGP engine, Maloney set forth building the bike you see here. Coincidentally, Maloney’s Maltec Performance Engineering shop in Victoria is only about 60 miles from Drysdale’s shop, located near Melbourne. Maybe Aussie audacity is found in vegemite…?
Maloney first began work on his V-8 project by pairing two ZX-7RR cylinder banks to yield a 1500cc mill, but he then discovered Yamaha’s mid-2000s R1 motor was equally as wide, so he decided to build a 2.0-liter V-8 for maximum FYF. The pair of Yamaha cylinder banks are joined at 90 degrees to a flat-plane crankshaft inside bespoke engine cases.
Maloney says the PGM V-8 produces a monstrous 334 hp at 12,800 rpm when rated at its countershaft, a reading location that typically falls between crankshaft power and rear-wheel numbers. Peak torque of 157.8 lb-ft is supposedly found at 9500 rpm. Engineering the gearbox proved troublesome, as the clutch shaft and the output shaft had to be reversed on the rear cylinder bank, which is offset slightly to the left.
That sweet V-8 doubles duty as a stressed member inside a chro-moly trellis frame mated to CNC-machined 7075 aluminum rear elements. Its steering-head angle is raked to 25.5-degrees and uses a 107mm trail figure, which is fairly sporty for a bike of this size, even if the 60.6-inch wheelbase is rangy for a sportbike. All up, Maloney claims a reasonable wet weight of 534 lbs.
Noted motojournalist Alan Cathcart took out the PGM V8 for a spin in 2015 and pronounced its low-speed handling as ungainly but said it otherwise operated like a ungodly fast naked sportbike. Additionally, he described the bike’s oddball gearbox, surprisingly, as flawless. Cathcart, who has also ridden the 750cc Drysdale and the 1000cc version, says the PGM V8 sounds even better than either, which you’ll hear in the video below.
Suspension is by Ohlins, using an FGRT301 48mm fork up front and a TTX36 shock in the rear. Marchesini forged alloy wheels are slowed by a pair of Brembo nickel-plated GP4 calipers biting on 320mm discs, augmented at the rear by a Brembo P4-34 nickel-plated caliper and 220mm rotor. Akropovic provides the titanium exhaust system.
Of course, anything this audacious will be priced out of reach for those of us with modest means, and that’s extra true for the PGM V8, which has a list price of - wait for it - $180,000! But one listen to the sonic delight of the flat-plane V-8 revving out might have you researching the prices you can get for a used kidney. I suggest fast-forwarding to the 1:30 mark when the exhaust music begins. In the meantime, I’d better start a GoFundMe page for airfare to Oz…

My favorite part about this bike, aside from the ridiculous engine, is that they managed to make it light weight, compact and totally manageable in size. It is basically the size and weight of a Ducati Diavel with four times the engine.
Hahah what u think that the piston weight is more then 10 KG 😂😂😂
Twice the horsepower and less than 2x the displacement.
Sounds like an old F1 v12 engine, music to my ears!
Uh... no? It sounds like a small displacement v12. Idiot.
I think it's more like a f1 v10 or v8
Here's some clips of an v8 I think comparing it into v12 is little too much

@@thatasiandude1351 I mean it's in the same ballpark, I wasn't trying to be exact or write a primary source research document about it.
Honda CBX sounds as F1 ..
now, i am waiting for 2 H2R supercharged engine wielded together
0:57 The cold start is so amazing, but the engine is so smooth
I don't know about motorcycles, but this PGM is an engineering masterpiece. Combining two Yamaha engines to make one was an exceptional feat. Well done to the builders. Sorry, my not perfect english. Ellenida. Γεια σας, αντίο. ✌️🇬🇷👍
Mr. Drysdale , you have created the single most beautiful motorcycle in the world.
Aye? This ain't a drysdale
Owner: “Hi Akrapovic. I need custom motorcycle exhaust for a V8 that I built from scratch and I need this project to stay under $500k”
Akrapovic: *silence
No joke that Exhaust is no less than 6k. A full Akra system for my MT10 is 2k...
@@collegestudent6071 It's even over 6k for a Panigale V4
Why not ask Allen Millyard to build you one. He'll just raid the skip bin in the carpark outside British Aeronautics and knock you one up in his garden shed. Or don't some Hypercars have titanium exhausts? Just cut one of those up. No worries. Lol.
@@jnmason6283 yes they can be and for us south east Asian customer its even more expensive
@@patthonsirilim5739 blame KTM
Now bring this to a bike meet to assert dominance on the squids and squidlettes
Y2K Turbine bike wants to know your location.
Only a simpleton thinks in such superficial ways.
Sounds awesome. Its epic build. Can't imagine the power of it.🔥
This bike is sick!! Awesome engineering, music to my ears and every part is just beautiful! I just wish there was an onboard view so we can see the acceleration and revs
The sound is so Smooth, Love this bike 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I've been wondering why no V 6 motorcycles, but now I realize that as V 8's always sounded good in cars, the same goes for motorcyles.
Laverda made a V6, Honda a 180°V6 Goldwing And a fue others

@@sianakdukun9914 ok
Sounds fantastic 👏 wonder how it handles, a bit of wind protection would make the bike perfect
Yeah, it needs a full fairing like a Moto GP bike.
@@motocrossriders2002 at least something like a z1000sx
I'm thinking it would be a great touring bike....for gas station trips ⛽
I was getting excited hearing about this bike, i ride zx1400r Kawasaki, i would love to buy this bike if it comes out. We always need excitement in our lives. Keep up the great work
Ein v8 in einem Motorrad. Wie geil ist das denn. Und alles so kompakt
What a beautiful piece of engineering
No fuss starting, love it and the insane acceleration.
Wow classic sound we can feel the power of this beast as looking it. One my dreamy bike wishlist added
Amazing engine sound
Absolutely amazing ! End game machine.
Sounds so smooth
Imagine if they used 2 x crossplane R1 engines, it would sound like an American muscle car then
Na I’d rather the formula one sound it has
@@filiplaskovski9993 got to agree on that! That is a beautiful sound!!
Crossplane would be amazing. I’m a MT-10 owner, and I never get tired of the beautiful sound it makes.
@@justdoitwithchase8590 lucky for you, I only own an mt09 as it suits me better and a bit smaller, but the sound is lit.
You idiot that’s what this engine is
They took two last gen R1 cross plane crank engines and fused them together.
That sound is wonderful
Sound like classic F1 car😍😍
Wicked bike, very impressed
spectacular.
i had a goosebump that exhaust sound is loud
Sounds sick! I'd love to ride it, must be torquey as hell
If the 4 cylinders use a lot of gasoline now imagine an 8 cylinder with a small tank
Oooh just more fuel
With the power and sound of a 2 liter v8, who cares about mpg????
Refuel every 50miles😂😂 or less
Not necessarily. My 5.7 v8 uses less fuel/diesel per 100km than my 3.0 4 cylinder turbo diesel Hilux. More pistons and larger capacity= less revs and effort needed. Less revs and effort= less fuel.
Sounds fantastic
I love everything in this bike except the headlamp design
They should have made this into a sport bike. With its massive power output, rider will hardly unleash its true potential. Sport bike processes the best aerodynamic compared to a naked bike.
Awesome, Aussie built grunt machine, sounds great, and no comment on Barry Hall.
I amaze, the bike can do very good start, so smooth. Power delivery is awesome.
I thought I recognised these roads. They're not far from my place :)
1:32 going over the Redesdale bridge.
Imagine swapping this engine in an orange elise or exige. Dream build.
I am hoping that Allen Millyard was consulted before you embarked on this project . He is the Grand Master of multi cylinders motorcycles for decades !Respect. Trinidad & Tobago.
Range limited to around 14 hours due to tyre life.
That sound ohhhh! Music to every bikers' ears
Imagine a quickshifter with this sound‼️
1:47 Nossa Que Reduzida Monstra Dessa Moto😳
I liked the first exhaust better. Give me that one with the DB killers removed. Man this thing is a work of art.
Wow.. gilaaaaa 2000cc.
V8 pula, i4 aja boros bensin😅😅
Awesome. I'd love to swap this for the 2.0L i4 in my Civic
I would love to hear the sounds it would make if it had the crossplane design crankshaft. One can only dream.
I didn't know this existed and now I need one.
For a low price of $100k
It's a Beast..... Just listen to that beautiful gear shit sound...... Love it..... ❤️
Its high price, but owning a one is like a masterpiece..
OMG! I want one!!
Awesome ,like allen millyard home made build motorbike.
Don'k knock them, they may catch up one day.
Yeah but Allen makes his engines with hacksaw file and no CNC 😁🏍️
Allen Millyard can build that in a shed.
I just made pretty much the same comment, then found you already said it!
True though isn't it?! 😀
You bastard you got there before me with that statement..👍
@@Shane-zx4ps Think anyone who's seen Allen's work was thinking bthe same as us - the guy is amazing, he'd probably make a V12 ! This V8 sounds awesome though doesn't it ?
@@saraw6446. He blows mind with the work he does, I’ll put him into the genius category, he’d want to lay of the cupcakes though..😃
@@Shane-zx4ps Yeh, definitely genius, a real artist too - I can do the basics, change clutch etc. only cos can't afford garage prices, but you're right, watching that guy blows my mind !
@2:53 the guy who designed that is a badass mad scientist
This bike is enough to make most cars and bike scared their ass off lol
Like to see performance figures. Sounds amazing
Bruh not even in second and just absolutely flying
1:08 EPIC !!!
THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT
Marvelous piece of engineering despite the ugly headlight
Was hoping for more v8 rumble
It's got a flat plane crank, you only get a rumble from a V8 with a crossplane crank. So this sounds more like a Ferrari V8 (they use flatplane cranks too) ...more of a scream than a rumble. To me a flatplane cranked V8 just sounds like a busy sounding inline 4 cylinder.
Estou muito feliz com a minha Suzuki, más essa é mostro...
O Torque Dela É Muito Alto , 21,8Kfg De Torque , Pena Que Não Mostraram O Corte De Giro Dela
Does anybody know how many bikes have been made or sold? The selling price is USD$ 180,000.
Beautiful machine.
Hope I have a chance to ride this one day
Only 6 comments?
Awesome bike. Thank you for sharing. Can I have mine in deep purple please? ;)
Amazing sound
Would love to have one!👍🏻
cool. where do i buy it?
They should ask Acrapovic make 8 to one exhaust for that bike. Problem with current exhaust setup is that it just sounds like 2 4 cylinder engines running at same time. That`s how it is with these flat plain crank shaft engines. I have heard what like Lamborghini V12 sounds with 2 six to one exhausts, it just sounds like 2 six sylinder engines running at same time.
Hope the drivetrain last a long time, kudos to the builders!,!
This R1 enginea is based on the older one or the Crossplane models?
Phenomenal ! People and machine
I prefer the sound at 1:08 instead of 4 exhaust
Me too (eu também).
unfortunately it looks like the pipes never meet from both banks so it sounds more like two r1 one side by side than a proper v8
Außerirdisch, Soundmaster!
Was hoping it sounded like a V8 muscle car.
if the bike powered by v8 2000cc, the bike need fairing for wind protection and winglet to make a better downforce while speeding. there are few improvements need to be done which are the headlight, handle bar need to change to triple clamp handle bar, add windshield and fairing, the four akrapovic exhaust need to change to two akrapovic exhaust just like in the beginning of the video. follow this and im pretty sure people would love to buy this bike.
Who needs it, and how you homologated it, that it can be registered for road driving.
02:31 Focus on their hands stylishly tucked into the jeans pocket😂
They have an itch
Wicked sound!
it reminds the sound from the famous pc game road rash
Love It ✅ Keeping With Fresh New Ideas ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
While I’m not hating and like the sound, to be honest, I thought it would sound better. 🤔
It's because of the flat-plane crank, it's like a ferarri V8 rather than american muscle
Any pricing? Will it be forsale to the public? The sound is frek'in awesome.
Sounds good.
Before the video started I thought they were going to be crossplane engines
Fantastic engineering .. but the max torque figure seems low given the horsepower output and displacement also a s1000r will do at least 190 mph with a few tweaks is this faster ?
You know what's more nuts on this engine?, its a crosplane lol!
I wonder what top speed this 2000cc big bike.
What's the top speed of this bike?
Awesome 👍👍👍
What's the top speed for this V8?
Is it a good starter bike
I definitely like the 2 into 2 second generation exhaust better than the 2 into 4.
And there's me thinking he'd built it himself
Now throw 2 of the h2s super chargers on each of the intakes and it will be perfection. I wonder if they redid with 2 h2 motors instead of the r1s
When tuned up it will make 400hp? Did I hear that right? Never mind your horsepower per tonne figures the hypercar manufacturers bandy about. With 400hp this bike will be almost 2hp per KILO. Let that sink in. That's NUTS.
Allen Millyard would be proud. Although, Ian didn't build it in his garden shed like Allen does with his wild creations. But still. What a machine. Well done everyone.
Do it again, but this time with 2 CP3 enginges creating a brilliant V6 with more then enough Power and way thinner. Handling will be awesome compared to that V8 ship. :-) lovely buildt!
that was art

MY god that's very fast
