- Today I have in my episode the most powerful production motorcycle in the world. Its engine is a high-speed V8 of two R1 engines. This engine allows you to get backspin at 200 km/h. This is a real Australian monster! It`s even more powerful than the H2R. Enjoy watching everyone!

Alan Millard of the UK also makes V8's AND V12's, from two engines. He also turns Kawasaki 2 stroke triples into 4 cylinder bikes. Alan's main tool, a normal hacksaw.
Alan is a legend 👍
His precision with a hacksaw is mind-blowing!
> Alan Millard
No, his name is Allen Millyard.
> His main tool, a normal hacksaw
No, when building engines, his main tools are lathe, pillar drill, milling machine and the other standard tools for shaping metal to 0.1mm accuracy and closer.
Anybody telling you that his main tool for working on engines is a hacksaw is making a joke.
Love Alan, an insane man to my liking.
Alans main tool is extreme mechanical genius!
Sounds like a perfect 1st bike for my daughter.
Seriously though , insane engineering , insane bike.
most epic comment ever:))
"the engine is made completely from scratch" "made from 2 R1 engines"
That guy is a talking total BS.
2 R1 heads, the bottom end is bespoke.
The crankcase is custom, has to be, he just used the heads and maybe cylinders from an R1...
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
Crazy Aussies. Didn’t realise Mad Max was a documentary…
Was, or wasn’t?
@@thechumpsbeendumped.7797 wasn't! 😅
And a Fantasy, certainly not REALITY.
You should try to learn about Mad Max's less well known cousin, Slightly Peeved Steve.
@@garethbull2226 He's just a weaselly loser Steve.
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.
ive got double that in a car and its not enough hahah NEED MOARRRR!!!
This in a MX5 sounds fun 😂
@@CharlieboySLONDON That is called AC Cobra 😅 the replica AC Cobra is 1000 kg and 550 hp / 700 mn out of a Roush 427 v8 ❤
Man,that is THE FINEST SOUNDING V-8 bike engine I've ever heard!!! Love hearing it Rev!!!
Nice first bike
First and last.
I’d recommend it for driving schools
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.
It has alot more torque
Id love to hear the cross-plane version R1 engines molded into 1 , or a V4r V8 now that will be extra bananas
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.
Wouldn’t 2 v4r’s make a “W” configuration like what is used by Bugatti? A W8 in this case?
A w8 is like a v8 but each bank's cyllinders are not in line but like a zig zag to minimize width@@mozer30
The R1 has been crossplane for 15 years........
What .... this is a flat 180 degree crank isn't it ?
That’s just insane. If you went out for a 30 minute ride, everyone you knew would be 30 years older than you when you got back.
An engine like this in a sports car would be amazing.
Ford makes a unit that is 5 liters. And it’s not 150 grand.
The original ariel atom had a motor simila4 to this
The Ferrari 208 came out in the 70's
@@hardmcshaft7931 That was the Hartley H1 with two Suzuki Hayabusa engines molded together. A company in Britain now makes and sells them.
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. Most bikes are struggling to make 2010 levels of power in stock trim with emission and especially noise regulations and seem to have greatly slowed or stopped all advancement of from scratch sportbike engines.
@@slippingsnake > Turbo Bikes from the 1980s.
It's not the 1980s any more. Turbo technology has moved on quite a lot in 40 years.
and the point of achieving such insane HP/torque if you can't utilize it? e.g. only 28% throttle before getting wheelspin @ 200km/h in 6th gear
@@wilson2455 assuming thats true and not on chip seal. Then it needs a better tire, suspension, swingarm angle with more anti squat, gearing changes. More then likely the whole bike design is just junk. Should be fighting wheelies especially with such a high COG.
The sound is just amazing...
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
Quality video once again
Sounds awesome
This thing really sounds like an F1 car💀🤌 the exhaust notice is simply mind blowing🤯 4:12
The sound is amazing...... I m love! ❤
Love It !!
Why not!
Awesome.🍻
Profound reviews, thanks, great videos. Will stay tuned*
Nice to see the Redesdale bridge in the footage. Very Australian summer landcape.
That looks FUUUUUUUUNNNN!!!
Amazing machine 😮
Wait a second. If it spins in 6th gear, why dont they ad more gears or make the current gears longer?
It sounds amazing. I’d love to ride one
tw2 r1 engines is crazy i had a 2015 r1 what an amzing motorcycle
Beautiful
I want one for my 93 Nissan Pulsar! 😅
No seriously.
10 yrs back I've seen PGM official video what a masterpiece ❤
Awesome 🇬🇧 😮🙏
How beautiful a V-8 of such small displacement and such high horsepower could be for really small cars, new or old.
A great looking Bike 👍
Love your work, keep it up!
Ideal for to and from work. 😉❤️
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.
what a brute !!! Amazing engineering but whats the handling like?
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. The weight is surprisingly good for what it is. Take them for 50 laps of a track and the differences would become apparent. This would absolutely shine as a dragbike, sticky rear tyre hooking up and powering down the straight. Just keep that front down and good luck, that drive sprocket mounting height seems to tell a story. Would be great fun to ride as a street bike, if he had the R&D of Kawasaki I wonder what it would end up like.
Good sound
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.
sounds like a normal r1.. very very cool.. I reckon i could 100% throttle that thing haha
One of the best if not the best channel on the toob . . . love it
What if you put in on Dyno test.and let's see what is maximum speed he does and lest compare to the h2r 400 speed and lets see does it beet to h2r or not
if I had the money, and it was extra money, I'd definitely buy it,
the power to weight ratio is amazing,
it is well engineered and they didn't do stupid things like putting carbon wheels to shave some weight.
Kawasaki: builds own engine, supercharges it.
"Cheating"
This guy: bolts 2 R1 engines together
Any dipshit can add boost to an engine, I can add a 5k turbo kit to my old busa and trash crapasakis all day long, it isn't difficult! What these guys did was much more complicated than just "bolting 2 engines together" or simply adding boost and a tune!
🤦♂.. It's the concept of forced induction !
@@Nduthist_GP I don't see how forced induction is cheating, the Kawasaki can use its entire throttle because of boost and traction. This bike can only use 28% of throttle, a nice novelty and I'd love to own it but realistically a novelty.
@@davesnothereman699 cheating in quotes mate.. Generating more power by boosting instead of increasing displacement.. it's a common phrase with people who worship N.A engines. Also you can map the throttle application as you wish. H2 will have a 'forgiving' throttle since it's for mass production (crazy we are calling it forgiving) .
I adore the H2 but it's not a fair comparison, this is a bike produced for Purists as the price indicates.
@@Nduthist_GP Well if I had the choice of the two I'd probably pick this bike. But I'm considering supercharging my 98 VFR800 since they make a kit. I like a light bike I can whip around.
Great video! Fascinating. Maybe not compare them and say it is "cheating" or thay "anyone can do it. Humility is a nice thing 😊.
I think this 2.0 NA V-8 with 334 hp that revs to 12.5k transplanted into my 2.0T VW Golf R DSG would make it a more interesting drive and an audible treat for pedestrians as well.
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.
But yeah, in a car 😂😂 would be insane hehe.
In some shitbox Lancia or indeed anything with deletable rear seats like the mid engine Renault 5 or the mid engine Delta Integrale S4 🤔 haha
Not a production bike and certainly not the most powerful one, which is MTT 420R with 420 HP and 500 ft/lbs of torque. Powered by an Allison Royce turbine, fastest, most powerful and most expensive production bike in the world. Base model 242 000 USD. 8 months delivery time aprox. Yes, it is many in line before you , that is what they told me . Will be worth the wait.
2:30 you can see the mans face change when he say that it can spin in 6th gear at 200kph. That guy saw things that no mortal has seen 😅
Some of the liter sport bikes get this, and can feel it too, with their rear tire going out in one weekend, and while they read 300kph a zx14 blows right by them!
Customizing a bike is important it's all about balanced people that ride bikes will understand 👍
this one makes Triumph Rocket 3 GT looking dirt cheap...that beast nobody can beat..
The engine is nuts, 167HP/l, that's awesome. This engine would be great for Super 7 & Co.. It sounds like flat plane, is it?
4:51 “The crankshaft is made of EN 36 steel at high temperature” what is it made of when the engine is cold?
When its cold it loses a few levels
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?
As per the video, I agree with PGM the bike is better straight up with no chaser with top end being an opinion (w/fairings). Just have fun. 👏
is it good beginner bike?
an actual race with H2R would be very interesting...
It'd be interesting to see how fast this baby would go, with some Burt Munro inspired Streamlining. 😁👌 🏍💨
WOW MANTAB
Be awesome to see go down the 1/4 mile.
If I had the tools to do it, I would try matting two RSV4 V4 1100 motors together as a 65° V-8. That thing would haul ass and sound amazing. Would be a tight squeeze on a bike. Put that motor in a sand rail or something
I second this. the best V4 actually, turned into a V8? yes plz.
As a engineering standpoint
Sandwiching two v4 engines is not viable to say the least
It would need a custom block
Custom crankshaft and custom heads basically building an entire engine from the ground up
It is much easier to put two inline 4s together for a v8 because it's basically 2 banks of the motor already ready all you need is custom machining a crank case and block and put the heads of the engine on it which is much less work and a headache to try to put two v4s together
imagine if this guy makes a motorcycle combining two H2R engines. That will be a 2.0L V8 twin super charged missile in the form of a motorcycle.😎
It's crazy how people comparing a 20 years experience of being mechanic into the 127 years old company. 😅
Faaarcanal!!!
I like how he waited to tell the price until last second 😂
I want to see it spin the wheel in sixth!
Impracticle motorcycle tho quite a monster.
power to weight ratio important for top speed? This is new for me
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
My god, that exhaust has me makin white over here
Allen Millyard has already got the tee shirt!
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
👌👌👌
No matter what eanyone does there is always a knocker
3:05 says supercharging is cheating
Also combines 2 R1 engines for his bike😏
How nice would that engine be in something like a Caterham?
Clayton is a legend.
When will this go on the market in the US?
can we install the supercharger to this bike?
Walaweh ❗✌🏻😊
Man I always wanted to bolt two 1000cc mills together to make a V8 -.- Noice.
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'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.
Spider-Man you lurking out there?
Too much is just enough I like to say. This thing is WAAY too damn much to even believe! So it is perfect!
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.......
Absolutely stunning in every way. Eye watering $180K but hey, you'll have the only one in your state...
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? 💯🤓
before i fully read the tittle i knew this as from an aussie. is that twin cylinder motorcycle still around down under that was made from cutting two cylinders off a merlin engine back in the 80's
Now that guy was NUTS! When "Hold me beer" meets an Aussie with a cutting torch!
All I want to know is...
What did he do with the rest of the Merlin?
@jonathanbaer9409 no idea. The article in Bike magazine never said.
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!?
Please a test bench graph
dynamometer, thanks
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.
John Britten was a New Zealander
Sorry about that. I appreciate the correction. In the MC world, he was a great man.
@@Tonedog88 Yep, he was next level brilliant
it would be so cool to make a W8 2Liter bike
I say a vr7 would be nifty
I've often wondered why the many mc manufacturers hav'nt come out with a V-8.
I want that V8 for my car.
Allen Millyard built a bike out of the Viper v10 engine and maxed it out!
The Tomahawk has never been run full clip, it only has a theoretical top speed.
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 ?
it's criminal to have all that power in a streetfighter platform
😮❤
Production bike?
