Slane583 Jay's an old foreign card just about anywhere outside LA but that's OK, he's got his special emo hobby. It's hard working your way up the Babylon totem, police cruisers and thenceforth.. I'm happy for him.
That flat-6 on a Valkyrie sounds like some muscle car. Would be sick to have that engine on some kind of a compact sports car ( first gen MX-5, for example)
Omario Lightweight engine with low centre of gravity, both good things in a small, balanced chassis like a Miata. Its the basic formula used in the BRZ and we all know how good that turned out :)
Right, but firstly, BRZ is not that compact as MX-5 or some hot hatch like Fiesta. Secondly, IMO Valkyrie Flat-6 sounds much better than most 3 or 4-cylinder engines in the compact car market while packing around the same displacement and doing the same ~30 MPG ~100 PS if kept naturally aspirated. Pretty sure you can squeeze out +40-ish PS if you use supercharger or turbo without any engine hardening or some other significant upgrades like it. Imagine Fiesta ST with THAT sound, it would conquer the market without dropping any sweat :D
sadly the flat 6 is damn near as big as the miata engine and slightly less powerfull than the base engine. NA mx5 base = 1.6L honda flat 6 1.5L and the 1.6 in the miata is easy to boost. now if you had 2 of those norton F1 engines glued together you'd have something amazing.
@Nff TBH i'm not a big fan of Wankel engines due to their fuel consumption and reliability issues ( although i admit: engineers at Mazda have done outstanding work at making these engines more usable for everyday driving over the years since the debut of Mazda Cosmo). If you wanna buy a car for the track-day/weekend driving, an RX-7 would be a nice choice, but as it comes to the everyday car that you can occasionally take on track... IMO, i would take something with "regular" ICE As for the Honda-6 vs Mazda-4: First, you said yourself that they are around the same size, so size isn't really an issue Second, these flat-sixes were in production in late 90-s/early 00-s. It is obvious that there are new technologies in engine production process that can make an engine more powerful than before. IMO, if there was "modern-gen" Honda flat-6, it would probably equal the power figures of the base MX-5 inline-4 Third, about the "boostability" of the engine - just make a hardened block and engine head from the factory, the rest will come by itself ( 2JZ-GTE as an example) If you disagree with something - feel free to write down below. I will be glad to hear your opinion ;)
Great video the bike vids are my favorite! Have you ever considered doing one on snowmobile engines particularly the modern two strokes and turbo four strokes?
7:10....these are often referred to a "twingle" or twin singles. It can be two parallel cylinders that share a combustion chamber, or some refer to a 360* twin as a twingle if the camshaft has been altered to fire both cylinders together, instead of on alternating downstrokes. This makes the engine deliver power like a large single, even though both cylinders are independent and working separately.
I rode a Suzuki PE5 in the late 1980s for a few weeks - very sweet ride. The Honda CX turbos were also very nice ride, excellent cruisers and VERY well built.
My first bike was the Puch. It was a Sears Roebuck, Allstate, but it was 14.7 Hp. Heavy and slow even for the time. It required SAE, 50 oil for the oil injector/mixer. I was 12 years old and ran it till I was 17. It was dead durable. At 17, I bought a Ducati 250, still my all time favorite bike, and what I consider the prettiest bike ever made.
The 1982 Honda CX500 Turbo was NOT the 1st fuel injected Motorcycle! That Honor belongs to the 1980 Kawasaki KZ1000-G1 Classic. An LTD or cruiser styled in-line 4 cylinder, air-cooled model! I politely request that you edit your information in the caption! Maybe you should say "fuel injection system used in conjunction with a Turbo Charger"?
i loved how smooth that Suzuki rotary was, and thank you for telling me about the Feuling W3! i have owned a Harley Sportster 1200 in the past and would like to get a Dyna that i think would be cool with that engine
The Puch split single has in fact two cylinders, but with common combustion chamber. The connecting rods are mounted vertically in line to each other on the crank, and some models even had a single Y-shaped common connecting rod as well.
I would have liked to see the MotoCzysz C1 engine detailed in this video, and the ill-fated oval piston Honda, too. Those were some radical departures from the tried and true.
Very pleased you included my bike, the Valkyrie. Mine is a 2003 with a different louder set of pipes, and different wheels. All black. I call it "My Toy" after a girl friend "Brooklyn Toy"... Nice Toy Box to play in, LOL
makes me feel old I remember when the Goldwing went from a flat four to a flat six very nice bikes I see people ride these year round as long as the roads are plowed
I never knew Anything about that 7 cyl Kawasaki. One day someone said a guy but a 7 cyl H2 motor and showed a video to prove it to me, so I I assumeed he was correct... but even with the 500cc H1 motor it would be over 1,000cc, not 606. I really want to know more now. Nice vid BTW keep em commin!
at 2:20 - i think it is a star engine that is spinning with the wheel . this is a piston engine . like the ones they used in airplanes , just smaller .
Hi Visio, I see you're making more and more motorcycles videos. If you were to need a clip of a Honda GL 1800 or a Honda X11 with stock exhausts, I would be more than happy to make them for you. I have both bikes at home and they are fitted with the stock exhaust systems for the most original sounds.
5 years ago I was lucky enough to see the, at the time, only Honda Valkyrie in France when doing a work placement at their headquarters outside Paris. It had been brought over for homologation, never got it, and so had been sitting in the bike shop ever since, never to be used (please correct me if I'm talking about the wrong model).
I've been a subscriber to your channel for quite some time now and I believe this is my first time making a comment. The various subjects are way up there on the 'like'' scale, I've wanted to say something also for quite some time about your choice in music, have you gotten a lot of comments about it? Mine are all good, I really like the music, if possible, I'd be more than glad to obtain a copy for my home, for a nominal fee, can you help with that? Thank's ahead of time for anything and everything you can do, you've got a really good show, keep up the good work.
Hmm. Instead of the Valkyre, which is just a modification based on the Gold Wing you could have mentioned the fürst water-cooled BMWs (K100). Their Engine Concept is quite unique and many people may not know about it.
I've never seen a 7-cylinder engine, and up til now had only heard of a tractor that may have been produced with a 7-cylinder. I'd almost expect it to be a W-formation, but guess not!
I like Honda Motorcycles, but they did not have the first Fuel-Injected Motorcycle. That Honor Belongs to Kawasaki, on the 1980 KZ1000 Classic, using a Bosch Fuel Injection System. 2 years before Hondas CX500 Turbo
You could do a complete video just on the bikes created by Allan Millyard. He's the mad genius of motorcycling and I would really like having his Kawasaki V12. I enjoyed this video, but of course I have some comments if you'll indulge me :) First a correction: the Honda Turbo it was not the first bike with fuel injection. That was the Kawasaki z1000 Classic in 1980 and sold primarily in the US and here in Canada. There was also a different version of the Z1000 with efi sold in other countries. My brother in law had a CX650 Turbo. Even though it was an improvement on the 500, let's just say that it was not Honda's best motorcycle. The Wankel rotary is not really a good engine. It has terrible design flaws and the only reason it seems to offer a good power to displacement ratio is that there is no agreement on how to calculate its displacement. That Norton F1 officially displaces 588cc, but you can also argue that it's really 1764cc. I have a 2001 Honda Valkyrie, I can vouch that it goes around corners surprisingly well for its size, btw the engine is similar to the one in the Gold Wing, but there are important differences. Basically the Valkyrie's engine is a hot-rodded version of the GoldWing thanks to different cams and six carburetors instead of just two on the Gold Wing. The idea for the split-single two-stroke was to eliminate the loss of incoming charge out the exhaust port like you get on a single-cylinder piston-port two-stroke. This is achieved by separating the intake and exhaust: one cylinder has the intake ports and transfer ports and the other cylinder has the exhaust ports. In your own video, notice how much more regular the idle is on that split-single Puch with none of the usual popping and four-stroking you get from typical two-stroke singles.
Should have mentioned the " Tomahawk" that Chrysler has. It has the V10 VIPER engine!! Also why did they mention the newer flat six used in the current Honda Goldwing GL1800!! I have a GL 1800 and I love it!!!
I remember the Norton rotary twin being featured in cycle world there were still a lot of two stroke twins and triples in the want ads for cheap and have even seen a Honda inline six wish I would have bought them up when I had the chance just like the VW beetles most of the two stroke bikes were hacked for making bad ass gokarts sad but true !!!
That squared dash of Suzuki's rotary motorcycle is one of the most beautiful ones I've ever seen
A guy sitting on a Honda motorcycle, under a Yamaha tent with a Mitsubishi jacked on...
Those were crazy times
SeriousSam I noticed that too :D
:D
all the sponsors
Lucky it wasn't a Mitsubishi jacked off
Great stuff! :D
That Honda IL-6 sounds incredible, always loved that engine
11:10 - Valkyrie - got me one of those for last 12 years. Best bike I've ever owned.
CBX1000s are so badass. 105hp in 1978 is just nuts, and that sound...my God! Like a pissed off european race car :)
Rotary bikes, huh? Looks like I need me a bike.
if you can find one . yes it is awsome . a rotary in a bike . i wish they would built one in a sportbike .
***** i can not find it
You may enjoy on You Tube WIZNORTON RACING CLASSIC TT F1 ONBOARD

Also russians made some rotary bikes (based on Dnepr)
The inherent prob;em with the rotary was engine breaking!! There was none!! LOL!! Let go of the throttle and the bike doesn't slow down!! Oh Crap!!
Two people saying first... -_- This world has no hope left
Or maybe they said it at the same time
MrMatt or maybe it proves the illuminati....
Epic Typhlosion can we just start reporting those guys because of the spam they make? That "first" thing is not funny anyway...
Rafael Martins Or stop get bothered by such a small thing and let them have fun.
Motorcycle designers are such a creative bunch when it comes to engine design
Finally something Jay Leno doesn't have
+dirk bowman You have to give Jay Leno credit though. He loves anything mechanical and is incredibly open minded, either it be a motorcycle or a piece of vintage industrial equipment. He loves it all. Plus he's not bias on which country it came from and does his best to show where the original innovations for what we have today came from. That and he's able to find beauty in machines that the common citizen would see as horrid abominations. :)
Slane583 I love Jay Leno and his show is awesome on UA-cam I've watched every episode
Same. I don't watch every episode though, but I am subscribed to his channel and I watch a lot of what interests me the most. I like seeing a lot of the old foreign cards that aren't commonly seen on the roads. Especially the brands you wouldn't think were sold in the US at all. But when it comes to a video of another "special edition" Camaro I pass it most of the time. Camaro's are cool but they're nothing special imo. Once you've seen one you've seen them all. :)
He owns a Megola motorcycle 2:02
Slane583 Jay's an old foreign card just about anywhere outside LA but that's OK, he's got his special emo hobby. It's hard working your way up the Babylon totem, police cruisers and thenceforth..
I'm happy for him.
As soon as i saw the norton f1 I was like that' s the one.
i was looking around forever to find a video of an inline 7
today i thought wether an inline 7 would exist. apparently it does :D
Wonder what he can do with a shed of one t(r)usty Mz and many many to do project ones ? Love his little V (L) Twin Honda Cub
Honda CBX sounds a bit like Ferrari, whilst Honda Valkyrie sounds like a muscle car
Thanks very much for sharing this video with us-awesome!
the Norton twin rotary is bad ass
that split single engine sounds good
Try You Tube for CLASSIC TT LAP OF HONOUR START UP GATE 2013
watch out for the pre war "deek" DKW @ 1-06 onwards

That Honda inline 6 just barely sounded like an NSX
Grady Scripture I agree, slightly more raspy but very similar!
Wnkel engines work like a two stroke with ports and no valves.
the goldwing sounds abit like subaru
Hmmm I wonder whyy
Michael Brown I have no clue could the engine be the same layout?!?!
Great video the bike vids are my favorite! Have you ever considered doing one on snowmobile engines particularly the modern two strokes and turbo four strokes?

LOVE your channel!!
very refreshing video, love bikes, and love to see and expand my knowledge about them !
The Norton Rotor near the end sounded like heaven to me.
I rode a Suzuki PE5 in the late 1980s for a few weeks - very sweet ride. The Honda CX turbos were also very nice ride, excellent cruisers and VERY well built.

Maybe you should say "fuel injection system used in conjunction with a Turbo Charger"?
Again, nicely documented collection of mechanical oddities.
Looks like the first and the last cylinder of the feuling engine may have some cooling issus.
It's a Wankel engine...
6 cylinder Honda CBX sounded awesome. Although that flat 6 Valkyrie was special. And that square 4...
2:20 RADIAL not rotary
Radial is an engine that reminds a star, but it doesn't move. The moving radial is a rotary engine, that's just how it is called for real.
VisioRacer So you could call it a "rotary radial", because it's a radial that rotates? Right?
This is the rotary and the one you think of it the Wankel engine: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_engine
VisioRacer I was mistaking the radial engine for the rotary engine. They have similar shapes. You're right.
but it is in fact a rotating star engine .
That F1. Wow beautiful sound.
i loved how smooth that Suzuki rotary was, and thank you for telling me about the Feuling W3! i have owned a Harley Sportster 1200 in the past and would like to get a Dyna that i think would be cool with that engine

Awesome Vid!
Great Content.
the rotary engine are the Best because is much louder and faster but as always good video ;-)and happy new year
Love the sound of the Honda CBX 6
The Megola Sound Video was shot at the oldtimerrally in my village, lol
Very pleased you included my bike, the Valkyrie. Mine is a 2003 with a different louder set of pipes, and different wheels. All black. I call it "My Toy" after a girl friend "Brooklyn Toy"... Nice Toy Box to play in, LOL
Valkyrie. Moja obľúbená motorka, som rád že som ju videl v tomto videu. Dobrý výber.
It's nice to see you make a video on Bike's
makes me feel old I remember when the Goldwing went from a flat four to a flat six very nice bikes I see people ride these year round as long as the roads are plowed
Fascinating bikes!
The inline 7 sounds like a moped :D
Nothing build by Andi and Brösel in this video, I am surprised.
6:42 six motherfucking carburators!!? f that, lots of shitty mantainence days.
Look at the Nimbus Type C with the 4 straight parallel in the frame... it was very much ahead of its time.
Not a bad way to start the year! Happy New Year :)
Great Vid
I never knew Anything about that 7 cyl Kawasaki. One day someone said a guy but a 7 cyl H2 motor and showed a video to prove it to me, so I I assumeed he was correct... but even with the 500cc H1 motor it would be over 1,000cc, not 606. I really want to know more now. Nice vid BTW keep em commin!
great vid, them inline engines are hella cool. don't care for the 2 smokes as much but the Australian bike was cool
Austrian* if you mean the puch
Lor Bau shit, my bad
lol, its funny because i have one of these at home
Great video
the v twin turbo sounds pretty awesome though
Any ideas on the SHAPE of the pistons in that single cylinder 2 piston Puch? I still cannot grasp what it is internally.
Search via Google. It has two pistons, two cylinder, but a single combustion chamber as they are not separated.
I used to adore the CBX but it was so freakin heavy! Compared to nowdays.my guilty pleasure was the suzuki water buffalo. GT750
at 2:20 - i think it is a star engine that is spinning with the wheel . this is a piston engine . like the ones they used in airplanes , just smaller .
So on the megola, if the engine is a part of the front wheel, how does the front wheel spin at 1 6th the speed?
Hi Visio, I see you're making more and more motorcycles videos. If you were to need a clip of a Honda GL 1800 or a Honda X11 with stock exhausts, I would be more than happy to make them for you. I have both bikes at home and they are fitted with the stock exhaust systems for the most original sounds.
Years ago I rode one of the Puch 250's. They were called "twingles" at the time. IIRC, Sears sold them. :)
do more diesel stuff and boats
"Aircooled" and "Watercooled" are not words!
TommyWylie sure they are you moron
I'm not a motorcycle fan but that last shit named Honda Valkyrie sounds dope AF.
I feel like a boss hoss LS3 V8 deserves a spot in this video
Rotary is not the same as radial. Go wiki the difference
That's right: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_engine
Aleksy Kabat radial is a circle and a rotary has triangle shaped pistons
AngrySlime11
Look at Visio's link, mate ;)
+AngrySlime11 this made me chuckle.. kudo's
radial rotory is not quite the same either, rotory radial is where the outside spins and the crankshaft stays still
what about the honda varadero xl 125? that thing was a 125cc 90 degree V-twin...
VisioRacer, you should've added "Extreme" to the video's title. That I7 Kawasaki is just overkill! : D
Module79L lmao i read your comment exactly when the kawasaki part showed.
3 and 6 cylinders... best sounds !
the goldwing can't decide whether it's a chopper or a rice rocket lol.
5 years ago I was lucky enough to see the, at the time, only Honda Valkyrie in France when doing a work placement at their headquarters outside Paris. It had been brought over for homologation, never got it, and so had been sitting in the bike shop ever since, never to be used (please correct me if I'm talking about the wrong model).
Would love to see a V6 Crotch Rocket... Around 1 liter displacement and about 250 HP...!
flat 4 =/= boxer engine...
shout-out to all the other püch owners out there!
picax8398 I have a maxi moped I need to get running.
suzukidr200s Awesome! what year is it?
picax8398 1986
I've been a subscriber to your channel for quite some time now and I believe this is my first time making a comment. The various subjects are way up there on the 'like'' scale, I've wanted to say something also for quite some time about your choice in music, have you gotten a lot of comments about it?

Thank's ahead of time for anything and everything you can do, you've got a really good show, keep up the good work.
how does the megola feed the engine while the engine spins?
Hmm. Instead of the Valkyre, which is just a modification based on the Gold Wing you could have mentioned the fürst water-cooled BMWs (K100). Their Engine Concept is quite unique and many people may not know about it.
That Megola, I really Want to be able to build a replica
That Megola looks like a shrapnel cake...Not so sure I'd want to share the road with that.
I've never seen a 7-cylinder engine, and up til now had only heard of a tractor that may have been produced with a 7-cylinder. I'd almost expect it to be a W-formation, but guess not!
that inline six sounds like something out of a bmw M series car wow
Damn that rotary
I like Honda Motorcycles, but they did not have the first Fuel-Injected Motorcycle. That Honor Belongs to Kawasaki, on the 1980 KZ1000 Classic, using a Bosch Fuel Injection System. 2 years before Hondas CX500 Turbo
First bike sound like 2 stroke and Norton F1 sounds like Mazda 787b. :D
i cannot help wondering weather the absolutely Amazing (Feuling W3) had possible heating problems within it's Middle 2nd-Cylinder???
Four Stroke rotary? I never knew!
That 3 cylinder Harley sounds like it can kick serious butt! Revs like a crotch rocket!
how do you balance an inline-7 engine????
You could do a complete video just on the bikes created by Allan Millyard. He's the mad genius of motorcycling and I would really like having his Kawasaki V12.
I enjoyed this video, but of course I have some comments if you'll indulge me :)
First a correction: the Honda Turbo it was not the first bike with fuel injection. That was the Kawasaki z1000 Classic in 1980 and sold primarily in the US and here in Canada.

why norton nrv588, kawasaki h2r not included?
Something about all of that mass spinning in front of you on the Megola, looks sketchy.
Isnt that a radial engine at 2 mins, not a rotary, or is it considered rotary because it spins with the wheel?
Wait, now I'm confused. Does the Megola have a Radial-5 or a Rotary-5?
You can put Aprilia RS250 and Kawasaki ZX2-R to you next video, they are interesting machines too.
but both with very conventional engine layout.
I remember the Norton rotary twin being featured in cycle world there were still a lot of two stroke twins and triples in the want ads for cheap and have even seen a Honda inline six wish I would have bought them up when I had the chance just like the VW beetles most of the two stroke bikes were hacked for making bad ass gokarts sad but true !!!
Wow! Never heard of that Megola before, an FF motorcycle... fucking genius!
Why is there no torque values for these engines? Would be interesting to see, both in lb and nm
Feel free to look them up yourself, plus some may not have been dyno tested. Why are you criticizing a free vid?
