No turbo busa in this list!

BREAKING NEWS
Local mechanic murders motorcycle owner.
Mechanic: "He asked me to do a carb rebuild!"
Both of those CBX did not have stock exhaust.
I probably shouldn't admit to it "I'd kill to own a CBX" at 6:13, but I do own one. The 6 into 1 pipe is glorious. I've seen exhaust pipe comparison videos. I found the 6 into 6 a little harsh, the 6 into 2 (stock or replacement) less interesting and the 6 into 1 the best.
Someone may already have mentioned this, but since you included the RC211, a race-only bike (thereby not limiting your list to street bikes), Honda GP RC166 of the 1960s had six cylinders. It had an astronomical redline of 20,000 RPM and made 65hp from its 250cc. You listed some incredible engines, but leaving out the RC166 is a glaring oversight.
Also the 5 cyl 125 of the same era. 20000 rpm torque peak, 22500 rpm hp peak.
Both very much needed add ons
6:14 Possibly the most awesome 13 seconds of motorcycle video ever!

@@thuthgogo708 yes
The cbx sounds like a formula 1 car. So freaking amazing and intimidating to others not riding it
"The V5 sounds different from any other four cylinder bike..."
Yes......yes it does.....
Sounds very much like a VFR with a 4 into one exhaust.
Because it has 5 cylinders not 4?

Well I'll be dogged, who wooda thought eh lol

If you mention the RC211V, Nicky Hayden should also be mentioned. He was the last person to pilot the RC211V to a world championship, and he is America's last GP world champion. He should be remembered.

You'll have to get real creative with the sawzall to jam a V12 in a space a v6 barely fit. I heard of somebody putting a V8 in a Mercury chassis of the same type, but at that point you had to take the engine out to change the plugs or the belt. Or check the oil. Or look at it too long.
Condorito the way I see it, there would be no easy way. Heavily modifying the chassis and the firewall and footwells. Or make it rear engined
You just gave me the best idea - rear engine, rear drive Taurus with a blown big block and a Mustang rear diff. It could do the power transfer like that wheelie truck on Roadkill.

WOW!!! someone is finally giving the 1972 H2 some love. That was my first street bike and yes trust me, it lived up to it's name. It's a wonder I am still here to talk about it at 61. Great post guys and yes, I did subscribe.
Wow,you have lived the dream ,and still living. My first road bike was the H1E 500cc Kawasaki 2 stroke triple. And I rode the wheels off it. 60 years old,and last time I looked,still living. Amazing,given the road conditions locally back then. Great vid.

Fact check: the rotary engine in the Suzuki is a cool ranch not nacho. Mazda used the nacho Doritos.
And some of the later model rx-7s had spicy nacho as well. The RX-8s had some salsa Verde, apparently, which not many people are a fan of
Jacob M'Boi preach it🤙
LOL
@@jacobm2625 The Cosmo had the Barbecue doritos. A good starting point into the branches of doritos the company will produce.
The Honda RC166 is probably the most crazy engine.....or perhaps the V8 500cc Moto Guzzi of the 1950s
High Five (V5) to Honda and Yammie Noob for coming up with the rare RC211V.
Thanks for sharing
Don’t forget Kawasaki made an in-line 6, too. KZ1300.
The Z1300 didn't have the visual impact of the CBX-1000.
What about the 500cc V8 Moto Guzzi GP bike from the 1950's?
Yes! I highly recommend looking up that amazing machine. The engine is a beautiful, jewel-like thing. I know there is a surviving example and it does get ridden. There are even sound videos of the loony thing running. It apparently was terrifying to ride back in the day, since motorcycle tyres of the 1950s weren't really up to handling the power the little beast made.
I was a Suzuki factory service rep when the RE5 was introduced. One of the major problems was that there was a production delay that created a 7 month gap between dealer training on the bike and its release which led to the mechanics forgetting everything they learned. To compound the problem many of the early bikes were shipped with incorrect carburetor settings from the factory and the dealer was expected correct the settings. The RE5 had the most complicated carburetor ever put on a bike (see link for exploded view). There were 5 cables from the throttle that led to the carb that had to be properly adjusted. Many left the factory with incorrect linkage adjustment & that involved using a protractor to determine the actuation point & bending the linkage to get the proper adjustment. I spent most of my time going to dealers that were lost when it came to the RE5 adjusting carbs and solving other problems. The rotary engine is very simple, but with very complicated ancillary systems to make it work. Carburetor exploded view: www.prismnet.com/~jrf/RE5/re5carb.jpg
Seen a Honda Goldwing engine when i heard it start up I thought they put a small J series in there.
Reminds me when I was riding a Triumph Super Sport 900 Triple, the howl that eminated from the pipe over 7k revs was blood curdling.
Love your videos, papa noob
Fun facts, the Benelli Sei's engine's internal design was heavily inspired by the Honda Black Bomber & CB750.
And the RCV-211 twin rear cylinders was of a larger bore than the front three, enough to equalise the dynamic weight to front banks three; hence its staccato roar.
The Honda engine covers actually fitted the Benelli engine.
You forgot about the boss hoss with the corvette engine in it.
That is not bike engine or really even a bike to big to heavy, useless for anything but guys with complex
Thanks for another unique foray into motorcycle history, Yammie squad. This lil squidlit appreciates it.
That 750 Kawasaki triple was the most deadly motorcycles in history.
The 500's were worse. By the time the 750 came out, Kawasaki had started to sort out the problems with the sloppy front forks, the inadequate braking, and the nearly instant-on powerband.
No oval piston Honda? NR750
How about a 1950's oval piston Sears/Puch Twingle?
Probably the best engine ever made from Honda, pre-production version was 210hp from a 750cc in 1990....they detuned them to 130hp for production models.
@@MrKdr500 They had to detune it that much because it couldn't be made to be reliable any other way. So, as much as it was an impressive engineering feat, it cannot (imo) be said to be their best engine. It was an evolutionary dead end.
@@BuzzLOLOL They were not oval pistons, two round pistons with one combustion chamber. on the Sears/Puch Twingle.
The Honda NR 750 most definitely had Four Oval Pistons and Eight valves per cylinder.
Come on Honda, please put this in as a production bike! I have been patiently waiting for 17 years when it first debuted. The world is ready for a naturally aspirated 800cc that can produce 240HP.
HRC Rules!
CBX dude.. Yes... I was hoping you would mention that bike. Best sounding bike ever IMO.
Honorable mention should got to the turbo bikes of the early '80s. Came and went within 3 years, but most people don't even know they were made! Sigh, and the awesome Yamaha RD500... Ah the good ol days...
And the supercharged BMW from the 30's.
hey !!! Norton made rotary motorcycles, and there race ones where mega fast winning the TT no less
Worked at a Honda dealership in 1979 loved cbx then an still do today although you couldn't work if one was on Dyno with 6 in 1 pipe❤️
Those 2 stroke triples were scary because of the fact that they had frames that flexed badly plus the two stroke had a power band that caught people by surprise. Hit the sweet spot without prep and, with the tires of the day, you were screwed. Remember these bikes were running on bias ply tires that didn't wrap the traction zone all the way to the rim, they were basically smaller and skinnier car tires.
My first bike was actually a PGM V8 lmao
Gotta love those Wall Street bonuses ;)
Kind of off the subject but i am the son of an Austin Timmons.
I enjoyed your video, and there are some terrific bikes here, but I have to correct you that the Benelli was a long way from being the first in line 6 because Honda did it very successfully with the 1964 RC164, just under 250cc. Surprised you didn’t mention it, because revving at 18,000 through 6 open megaphones makes the CBX in your video sound tame. How could you not mention the 1965 Honda RC 148 5 cylinder 125cc revving to 22,000 with open megaphone exhaust.
Or the V8 Moto Guzzi and a plethora of unique racing engine designs but then again this guy is young and needs to do his homework
probably because the guy is an amateur & knows sweet fuck all about motorcycles.
Because this guys to fast to seriously speaking for high revving mouth 😂, seriously i confused watch this videos, so loud😂😂
The infamous rc164.
Still doubt it was actualy fastet than other bikes or just no one dared to come up close enough to pass the damn thing.
For loud and good old racing bikes, look up the ss250 and ss350 two stroke german screamers.
Benelli was the first production,Your arguments pivots over track bikes which are not street legal and invariably count mainly because they are a one off,
Great Informative Video !
Great video and bikes, thank you!
Now, how about showing us all the car engined bikes you can find?
the v5 though!
That CBX sound literally makes me wanna cry
Don't worry, the wind blast will dry your eyes :-)
My fist car was an fc and the “bad” apex seals only lasted 270k miles... no big deal just kept oil in it.
When I was in Vo tech in the late 80s our school had 60 CBXs donated by Honda. They are very cool machines
5:35 Honda CBX 1000cc 6 Cylinder - My brother had one and loaned this to me for a 'test ride' - soon gave it back when found it only wanted to go straight on at bends !
So heavy very difficult to balance at low speeds, and he dropped it soon afterwards, and had great difficulty picking it up again !
Wouldn't swap any for my 1989 RG500 (CH) Square 4 Two Stroke, Disc Valves, Gamma Pepsi-Suzuki Kevin Schwantz road legal race replica - absolute animal !
Love my Suzuki Intruder 805cc V-twin... narrow, not too heavy, plenty of cruising power, low seat, dependable as a rock, stereo left-right exhaust note... best looking bike ever made...
Try You Tube for 1978 CASTROL SIX HOUR PRODUCTION BIKE RACE AMAROO PARK ....some very brave/mad/skilled men tame the old school "super" bikes !
6:05 "it's like you put a V12 in Ford Taurus" well, have I got some interesting news for ya! The later model 90's Taurus SHOs came with a Yamaha-codeveloped V8 under their hood.
I thought they were 6 cylinders
@@williammcguire130 the 90s had a v6 the later models had a V8 both modified by yamaha
All ford Modular motors are Yamaha influenced.(im told.) I have built pushrod v8 and modular 4.6 motors for several years and its funny being that its a USA car with Yamaha engineering and all metric hardware. Powerstroke the turbo diesel motor is a German built motor originally.
@@williammcguire130 Starting in 1996 they were. 89 to 95 were the 3.0 (manual) or 3.2 (automatic) DOHC 220 hp Yamaha V6 with the "bundle of snakes" intake manifold.
I never knew about the V8 SHO just the V6. Thanks for the education. I had to look them up and read about it.
i held the re5 instrument cluster this weekend. it is headed to england from the sunshine state!
You forgot to mention some engines Six-Cylinder's Kawasaki KZ1300 and it was Liquid cooled.
The 1955 Moto-Guzzi 499cc V-8 Grand Prix bike.
You forgot to mention the Hercules rotary motorcycle as well as the one built by Norton.
Also you left out the Ariel Square Four as well as Suzuki's two-stroke iteration the RG 500.
My favorite of all times the NR 750 with it's oval piston's twin con rods per piston and not 2 not 4 but 8 valves per cylinder.
I love interesting and Innovative engine designs.
The RE5 apex seals wearing out almost broke Suzuki. 20 years later, Norton solved the issue with soft rather than hard metal seals.
Replacing engines on a low production run motorcycle that was built for 2 years almost broke one of the oldest and biggest companies in the game?
Weird eh, one wonders why it took so long. My old man (who among other things was an electrician) used to tell me in the 60's that if you apply friction to hard and soft metals the hard metal is the one that wears, looks like he might have been right.
Consider a riding mower deck wheels are plastic on steel axles. The axles wear thin, not the plastic wheels. It blew my mind.
Still a really collectable bike though interestingly ...
I’d love a wankal motorcycle!
Since you're so interested in 6-cylinder bikes, go check out the Horex VR6, you'll love it. Except for the price tag maybe.
Horex VR6 is the dream. Seriously this is the shit.

Back in the 70's my best friend had a Kawasaki H2. That 3 cylinder 2-stroke was an odd bird.
I had an H1 and it was definitely a widowmaker. It felt like it was going to blow up at anytime and ate gallons of 2 stroke oil...Incredible machine i wish i had kept it...
I like the old rotary valve two-stroke motors that supercharge themselves.
Does Jay Leno have one of everything with an engine in it?😁
That PGM is amazing. How often do you have to adjust those 40 valves?

Norton also built Wankel powered rotary engines and their rotary engined race bike won at the Isle of Man TT race in the 90's.
i think the uk military police rode them for a while as well, used to see them at the RAF bases
I thought he was going to mention Norton, not suzuki
I actually had the chance to ride my cousins CBX a few times in the 90s. That sound!!!
Honda makes the best engines for the price period! This applies to automotive and motorcycle engines. I'm not a honda fan boy, but its hard to argue their reliability.
Kamil Starikiewicz true
Make a dope racing lawnmower too
Toyota honda is great and makes great cars but Toyota is the leader in reliability also Yamaha is on top of honda in the motorcycle industry once again I like honda but its not the best period
Kamil Starikiewicz still makes reliable
Reliable, have fun working on the cars......starter under intake manifold on the K24, and the 1.8 has the starter tucked up under the backside of the engine.
no NR750? it had oval pistons FFS!!!!
Exactly
and 7 valves per cylinder ---- i worked for a Honda dealer who sold a couple of them (£35,000 at the time (1990's) to arab royalty), very pretty but sounded like a VW when they were 'ticking over'.
Had 2 500 H1 triples , 1 H2 750 polished and ported , at . 2000 over redline with stock sprockets 146 mph
I just bought a 1981 CBX (see Jay Leno) with only 4600 miles. I am sooo stoked!!
''[Inline six] is a configuration that we'll never see again in modern motorcycles'' - you can walk into a BMW dealership right now, pay lots of money and ride out on a BMW K1600 which has an inline six. Also, I don't know how a CBX sounds like at 10K RPM, because they redline at only 9K.
Was just about to comment with the exact same points XD
Yup
and the 6 cyl bmw sounds pretty cool too if you open up the exhaust.
Ture but those are also mounted laterally.
What does a CBX sound like at 10K RPM? (*BOOM!*)
Swarm of angry bees more like hornets i love that sound ... unusual
Couple years back, I went to a bike show in Rhinebeck, seen a flat head ford v8 in frame similar to a sportser
One of my favorite oddballs was the Honda NS500 V3 2-stroke that Freddy Spencer used to win the 1983 500cc World Championship. That thing was super lightweight and had a very raucous exhaust.
thought I would see the Dodge Tomahawk or the MTT Y2K with the helicopter engine...oh well, call it an incomplete list
Or the oval-pistoned Honda NR750?
Or anything made by Allen Millyard.
That V5 sounded rumbely because of the unequal headers, similar to the Subi STI and Fozzis before 03
Sounds like V2 and inline 4 riding next to each other
I had a test ride on a Suzuki RE5 in 1975. Very smooth!
Good vid. Theres been quite a few weird bikes through history - maybe worth a part 2?
There was a bike that did a parade lap recently on the IOM, 12 gears. I think it was also rotary, possibly a Norton.
Correct. Norton had a rotary.
@@marka408 as did Hercules and Van veen,There were more
I've ridden an RE-5. It was owned by a racer who graciously permitted me to take it for a ride. It didn't do anything any better or worse than a conventional engine while being vastly more complicated and heavy. Suzuki would not permit their own dealers to perform internal engine repairs and required faulty units to be shipped back to Japan for replacement under warranty. It managed to combine all the worst aspects of two and four stroke engines with almost none of the benefits.
Apparently it mirrored the performance of my Suzuki GT550 two stroke triple,But cost more and was less reliable and as you pointed out no after sales maintenance,I could do some of the maintenance except timing Dail&gauge very complicated,3 sets of points,3 ignition coils,and 3 carbs but synchronisation was easy as was the CCI oil injection adjustment
RC166? INline 6 cyl 245CC 4 stroke GP engine?
Also Kawasaki made a inline 6 z1300 around the same time as the cbx
This is true, a touring bike with shaft drive
Some great bike engines to be sure, but I'm surprised you didn't mention any of Allen Millyard's fantastic creations.
The widow maker was the Kwaker H3 500cc. The 750 wasn't that fast at all, my CB 750 took them on every time, but the 500H3 had a very narrow power band that came on without warning - very light front end and that resulted in it being a widow maker.
6:36 Its a freakin livin 2 wheels lamborghini broo!!!!!!!!
MY BRAIN CELLS!!
Ofcourse you mean a 2 wheeled Formula 1 car. :P
I had a KZ1300 at on time... Never met a CBX that it couldn't "walk the dog on!!!". Could have been something to do with that turbo charger though.....
mine ate CBXs like Pringles.
C’mon guys play fair ! ;-)
My dad had the mach 4, he said thing was nuts until he crashed at 120mph. Kept it and love taking it out every once in a while
Gulbke's Road Dog is the stuff of legends. Special place in motorcycle Valhalla for that puppy.
I NEED THAT CBX RIGHT NOW.
At the time the CBX price was higher than it's competition and the GS1000 was lighter ,cost less .
Rumor has it Mazda is going to combine a tiny rotary “engine” as a generator with an electric motor in a new type type of hybrid Mazda 3.
Should point out that the Benelli 750/6 engine was basically a CB 550/4 Honda engine with two Honda cylinders added on.
Saw a CBX for sale in my local shop a few years ago. Should have grabbed it.
Boy, did you miss the most obvious one. The NR500, with the OVAL pistons, 8 valves per cylinder. Now, THAT was a weird engine!
And the oval pistons had two rods which would twist as engine revs pulling out the pins and engine failure
2 engines that should be added oval piston honda and yamaha TZ750 inline 4, 2 stroke race engine from 70's. I may be wrong but I think those were configurations only done by them once and never copied by other makers. I know oval piston was only done by honda and I am kinda sure only inline 4 cylinder 2 stroke was yamaha TZ, many v 4 and and square four 2 strokes race back in 2 stroke heyday but only inline 4 2 stroke I recall is TZ750 kenny Roberts tried to tame.
Kawasaki triple frames from the 1970's - What about the spoked wheels and low tech rubber? An exciting combination I can assure you.
I have a 79 CBX with a 6 to 1 header. Sounds awesome.
6:15 sounds more like Formula 1 than Formula 1
Norton also did it. Suzuki is not alone. Most notable V-8 was the Moto-Guzzi. Debate me! One you overlooked completely is the Motus V-4 and it deserves a bunch of exposure as it is American made in Alabama.
"er" DKW W2000/HERCULES plus the VAN VEEN OCR 1000 both " production" bikes.

Yam is I have owned many motor cycles over 50 years One that I admired was my 500 cc Honda shadow shaft drive It was super reliable never let me down at allI travelled over 250 thousand kilometres on it before I sold it ,I am so happy with my 2002 ST 1100 it is super reliable and plenty of power and torque to flatten any hill and it can cruise all day and over 900 kilometres plus in day and not break a sweat My ZX10 was another beast super insanely fast also cover long distances with ease
Even prior to becoming a motorcycle mechanic, I considered reliability to be an absolute necessity, so it's great to hear of the trouble free mileage you had with your Honda Nighthawk.
It was a comfortable, attractive and capable motorcycle.

Well done video... I personally would have put the Suzuki GT750 (Water Buffalo) instead of the H2.. Although it didn't make as much power.. It was a much better motor and bike.. Thats why i own one :)
My friend rode his Water Buffalo from Vancouver to Valpariso problem free.
I had a GT750 as well, 1976 model.
I have both, the water bottle as we call it... hm I’d still go the h2
I had a green 74 H2 with Dencos and the blue 1972 when I was in the 82d Abn, I used to tear around Ft Bragg and Fayetteville, man I miss those bikes. No bike I had after those could pull quite as hard, but they did feel more safe.
Kawasaki was air cooled, and ruled. Had sex appeal! The Buffalo was detuned, water cooled, and butt ugly, so it does not make the list.
I´m 22 (from Germany) and I´m going to get the cbx from a Friend of my Gf wich is in pansion now, her husband died 17 Years ago.
So the cbx is standing in her Garage for over 15 years now, twice bagged and sealed . This will be a winter Project of my brother and me. I can´t wait to ride this masterpiece.
Make a video about MOTOGP V4 engine vs inline 4 . why now inline 4 feel underpowered and V4 started dominating the Motogp.
