  • 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!

      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.

      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 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.

    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!

      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.

    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.

      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

    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.

    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.......

    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!?

    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 ?
