LoflcopteronBF3 Maybe so, but is this BMW bike shaft-driven or belt-driven? Because if it's shaft-driven, it might be easier for car-adaptation. Just my speculation though.
Lots of my friends used Castrol R. It was expensive but it smelt great and it was what all the racers we used to watch used in their bikes. I can still remember the smell. It's a stupid waste of money burning all that oil but I look back on those two strokes with great fondness and I especially loved the anti-social noise they made.
Haha, they sure sound different (and raspy/loud). I guess you couldn't muffle the sound too much without affecting the scavenging from the exhaust? Good times! Thanks for the post.
I am not much into two-stroke engines, but some of them sound interesting. The first one especially is closed to a rotary engine. The BMW inline-6 and Yamaha crossplane inline-4 wins for me! And the Moto Guzzi!
VisioRacer two strokes have great advantages over 4 strokes. They are simple, easy to fix, light, extremely powerful, and they are so exciting when boost comes. Too bad laws practically forbid those.
The 2t engines like Kawasaki ,Suzuki Yamaha and so on were awesome, but they sound the best with Air Age exhaust pipes especially the 3 cylinders. I still have a original Suzuki GT in my bedroom just to look at it .
I think it was Jay Leno that had one of those, he once told that a car behind it stopped on the red light suddenly started to have it's front bumper warped up Now that's something I call BRUTAL
Visio Racer, thanks a lot man for making such videos I'm from India and we don't have a lot choices when it comes to motorcycles (mostly single cylinder) . So couldn't really. learn about the various kinds of engines but thanks to you man, got to learn a lot. Keep up the good work!
Isabel juarez Waste?! I have a saying: If you spend money on something, its yours. The money goes to the seller, the money goes to the distributor. Which will be able for them to make more fuel. (I know its an resource which means it will eventually be used up)
For the Yamaha TZ750, privateers were getting 145hp out of them in 1977, Cycle Magazine rode Harry Klinzman's and wrote it up fairly well, with the exception of the porting specs. Kenny Roberts famously remarked that he preferred the 500cc machine, as the 750 "made too much torque".
Thanks for this video. It has a lot of engine sounds I've never heard, but wished I had. The Honda NR750 sounded pretty much as I expected. The V5 had a sound that is just indescribable. Never heard anything like it. The I5 was wicked when the rider was revving it to 12,000 rpm, and would just be scary at 20,000. The BMW I6 sounds as glorious as any BMW I6 should sound.
Great video as always! I was surprised to see no Ducatis on the list - they were the only manufacturer to use desmodronic valves for years and it gave their bikes (which are mostly big V-twins) a distinctive sound. As for bikes with longitudinal engines, see Honda's CX500 from the late 1970s and most Moto Guzzis - V-twins mostly. The CX500 used a shaft drive (so did Guzzi), not chain, and there was a turbocharged CX500 available too.
good vídeo. for the next you can remember Suter MMX 500 (2-strokes, V4, 195 hp and only 127 kg) Kawasaki H2R (the first stock bike with a supercharger) Dodge Tomahawk (the bike with a Viper engine) Ducati panigale 1299 (the most powerfull 2 cilindres engine) the maseratti bike (with quattroporte engine) and more...
One of my mates had an RD-RZ500, he never took passengers, his Jerry can was strapped to the seat as it never made it between Gas Stations! Excellent post thanks VR.
The RG500 was as close as most people would get to driving a 500cc two stroke race bike on the road. Tuned they had lousy economy and a powerband sharp enough to cut yourself on, but boy did they deliver huge power for their size and weight. Spondon used to make a frame for them, probably still would if you asked, that gave you a more rigid connection between the front and rear wheels.
The 500cc two strokes were awesome. I had a RD350 YPVS and every ride was a huge grin, I so much wanted a 500 but never got one. Probably best as I nearly killed myself with the 350.
A friend of mine has the R1 and it sounds soooo weird compared to my Kawasaki inline-4! And when I say weird, I mean cool! A cool bike to listen to, a cool bike to look at and even more cool to ride! :) edit: Oh and I totally agree about the Merc, my absolute dream car.
"How many bikes with a longitudinally mounted engine can you think of?" Pretty much all the V-twins from Moto Guzzi, the flat twins from BMW, the flat 4 and flat 6s from Honda particularly the Goldwings, the Boss Hoss V8s, The V4 from Motus, which by the way is a modern pushrod V4 so it should have made your list..... it's not all that rare.
I love how many UA-cam channels copy the layout of your videos, but won't go the extra mile to give us accurate information from a reliable source like you do. Good job mate 👍🏾
HONDA was only about 45 years ahead of everyone else making inline 6 bike engines. Some of the most amazing machines, even today. The technology was unbelievable.
Does anybody else want to slap the dudes that feel a constant repetitious rev that sounds like a skipping record is good for showing us what the engine sounds like? Show us the whole rev range and a few throttle position combos!
BMW needs to put that 6-cylinder engine in a V-Max/Diavel style cruiser or simply strip down a K1600GT into a sports naked. That engine would be insane in a lightweight bike.
There are still some more unusual motorcycle engines: the Moto Morini / Morbidelli V8 with a longitudinal V8, the BMW K75/100 with longitudinal 3/4cylinder engines tilted by 90°, the Ariel Square 4, the Triumph Rocket III with a huge 2.3 litre longitudinal 3 cylinder engine, the massive V8 Boss Hoss, the Tomahawk V10, etc. However, very interesting video...
8:19 One of my teacher (as a car mechanic) worked for Honda on this oval pistons and on the grid . As I asked, why oval, he told me, to fit 6 valves on one zylinder. Only the piston rings made them some problems. At least in the beginning.
I miss the two strokes. They where easy to fix and lots of fun to ride. I wish the big manufacturers would of developed them more instead of just getting rid of them. Honda doesn't even make a two stroke engine production motorcycle anymore....sad.
Sweet music to the ears especially the 2 stroke triple kwaka and the V6 Laverda. Only thing I would have loved to see/hear that wasn't on there is a water cooled 2 stroke triple i.e. The Suzuki GT750 aka 'the kettle'. My dad had one and it was lovely, had a real off beat sound on the original pipes (middle cylinder is a 1 into 2 system, outside cylinders 1 pipe each).
Thoroughly enjoyable video, thank you for keeping it to "real bikes" ( no bat bike or Tomahawk). Saw a couple I didn't know about and some details I didn't know about the parallel cranks in the the v and square two strokes, thought that was unique to the Ariel. I was wondering if you would catch the oval piston bikes and you did it with some nice trivia to boot. This video is a win!
There has been a true square four motorcycle engine made from 1930 up to 1959, it's the Ariel square four, a British motorcycle manufacturer. The four cylinders with 2 cranckshafts were aranged in a flat plane, and not stepped like the Suzuki engine, also the housing for all four cylinders was a single, aircooled casting, it had a problem with overheating rear cylinders which was overcome after a redesign. Being from such an early era it only did around 40hp from 1 liter, but it reved up to only 5800rpm. It was still one of the fastest streetbikes of it's era.
Back in the 80's I had a series of 70's two stroke triples. Mine were Suzuki GT series. I had a couple 380s and a 550 before briefly having the 750 two stroke kawi. Sadly it died almost immediately. I had shop class with one of my 380's so I milled the head down 1mm, tore out the oil pump (and just ran pre-mix like a dirt bike), bolted on the 550 carb plate, and ran velocity stack intakes. It had drag bars on it and I was in the process of making rear sets for it when the center piston exploded and metal fragments destroyed the bottom end. I was also tracking down a 3-into-1 exhaust that was made for those bikes. A rattle can paint job and some paint marker lettering by my high school girlfriend completed the machine. They were fun but sold as touring machines, so they were really heavy and sprung soft as heck. Sounded like a popcorn popper at idle. I think the 380's would only do about 90mph but they got there pretty quick. But at full tilt boogie they smoked like a tractor and the center cylinder needed a cooler plug (and I still blew two of them up).
Great video ! As for a follow up I might suggest the mighty inline 6 CBX 1000 (the sound of it is just incredible), the Boss Hoss, and some dude who put like 12 chainsaw motors in a row to power his motorcycle ? Thanks Visio !
The Honda V5 was working like V2. Firstly were triggered the three cylinders together on the one side and then the other two cylinders together. Also the BMW sound reminds M3 e46 sound.
Wow what a vlog.I dint know about so many types of engine and their placement on the bike.This opened a new horizon for learning more.Thanks Would like to hear more about non piston engines .my knowledge is limited to Wankel rotary,are there any other kinds?
Turbine engines and there are liquid piston rotary engines but not many more. Some very obscure spherical engines that never made it to bigger production
In my town there is an important Honda dealer, he had for a lot of years an NR750 (oval pistons) in his showroom... Jay Leno owns an Y2K... very interesting video, thanks!
It seems you are from Hungary? Nice videos, a lot of knowledge and nice understandable English in words and written! My Toys are Suzuki Hayabusa GSXR 1300 , 2001 , for my satisfaction and Honda Valkyrie GL 1500, 2003 for riding with my wife around the town! Siveshe!
VisioRacer I've been there in the 80.and 90 Barno, Kosice, Visoke Tatry.Presov, Bratislava , Popras. Predne Solisko. I was 24 . I'm riding bikes since 1967. Simson, Java, CZ, MZ, ИЖ Планета, Ковровец, , Honda CX 500, Kawasaki 750 GPZR, Yamaha Virago 750 Chopper , Yamaha R 1. I like your videos! Thank you for the effort.
Interesting how the engines all sound "right". The V6s sound like V6s, the inline 6s sound the part, the two-stroke fours sound a lot like flat plane V8s, the Honda V5 sounds like any other five, and so on. I'd love to hear that tiny Honda 5 cylinder engine at some real revs. A cross between an F1 engine and a model airplane. :-)
One of my dream bikes is a Honda CB1000, nicknamed the CB6. An inline 6 liter bike that sounds sooo smooth with the right pipes. I think I-6's sound better on high revving bikes than cars.
Hoping to see a Ducati SuperMono for its unique balancer, an Ariel Square Four, cause they did it before Suzuki and of course the RE5 rotary.... But never the less, well done list and clips.
Thank you so much for letting us hear the engines without crappy over-dubbed music as in so many videos.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
100% agree.👍
I agree, let the engines speak 👍
That inline 6 sounds nuts.
that suzuki square sounded amazing
same with the Honda engine with oval pistons
Big multi cylinder two strokes, gotta love em.
Sound box
The BMW K1600's inline-6 engine could probably be used in a small car.
That would be a beast car
...I'm waiting to see someone put a turbo on there and crank out 300 HP.....
I bet it would spew out its connecting rods
Triumphs rocket 3 actually has an even better engine for a car since it has a 2.3litre inline 3 motor
LoflcopteronBF3 Maybe so, but is this BMW bike shaft-driven or belt-driven? Because if it's shaft-driven, it might be easier for car-adaptation. Just my speculation though.
These 2-strokes... holy smokes! Literally.
good old oilburners
Lots of my friends used Castrol R. It was expensive but it smelt great and it was what all the racers we used to watch used in their bikes. I can still remember the smell.
It's a stupid waste of money burning all that oil but I look back on those two strokes with great fondness and I especially loved the anti-social noise they made.
Haha, they sure sound different (and raspy/loud). I guess you couldn't muffle the sound too much without affecting the scavenging from the exhaust? Good times! Thanks for the post.
I am not much into two-stroke engines, but some of them sound interesting. The first one especially is closed to a rotary engine. The BMW inline-6 and Yamaha crossplane inline-4 wins for me! And the Moto Guzzi!
VisioRacer yes i love the crossplane inline 4!
VisioRacer two strokes have great advantages over 4 strokes. They are simple, easy to fix, light, extremely powerful, and they are so exciting when boost comes.
Too bad laws practically forbid those.
VisioRacer The k1600 is quite an impressive machine, not quite as impressive as the cbx 1000 or the benelli sei.
The 2t engines like Kawasaki ,Suzuki Yamaha and so on were awesome, but they sound the best with Air Age exhaust pipes especially the 3 cylinders. I still have a original Suzuki GT in my bedroom just to look at it .
there is Norton Rotary and Honda CBX you missed tho
I need that Y2K for the neighbors when I suit up for a ride at 6 AM.
That turbine bike has a silly amount of power.
I want one.
And can probably burn anyone standing around it's exhaust pipe
Kalvinjj eh, that's just a minor issue.
I think it was Jay Leno that had one of those, he once told that a car behind it stopped on the red light suddenly started to have it's front bumper warped up
Now that's something I call BRUTAL
Kalvinjj It'll buff out :)
***** Yeah...no. Anything but those tbh.
Finally a video with motorcycle !!!
:)
yea!, but should have been a H2 at the start!
I used to be insane. I had both an H1 and then an H2.
Where are the Norton with their rotaries?
in his other videos
Nice! Please do more motorcycle stuff :D
Yup
VisioRacer Great! Looking forward to that.
Patrick Carta yes!
Visio Racer, thanks a lot man for making such videos I'm from India and we don't have a lot choices when it comes to motorcycles (mostly single cylinder) . So couldn't really. learn about the various kinds of engines but thanks to you man, got to learn a lot. Keep up the good work!
That Yamaha 4 sounds like a mini V8.
Huge two stroke engines... One rev and $100 flew out the exhaust pipe. Fucking worth it tho!
wat a waste of gasoline men
Isabel juarez Waste?! I have a saying: If you spend money on something, its yours. The money goes to the seller, the money goes to the distributor. Which will be able for them to make more fuel. (I know its an resource which means it will eventually be used up)
in my country Argentina the price goes up more and more
Isabel juarez Same here rbuh
We were going well, but there was a change of president last year
awesome vid ! what a show of amazing bikes ! Nice job on finding all thoses clips !
Thank you :)

Crossplane 4 has to the best engine sound ever
Definitely the best sounding bike ever
Yup
I think the Y2K turbine out-sounds it (while being almost completely impractical), but otherwise yeah for a piston engine that CP4 is sweet.
The sound is cool, way ahead of the electric bike sounds in the sense of futuristic. The bike is mostly totally impractical.
+Arne Hurnik no joke my uncle has an axial flow turbine on a bicycle lol. they do exist.
That 6 cylinder BMW is fuckin Scary. Sounds like a RB26 :O
friend of mine owns one ! i can't hold him at full throttle with my R1200R !! it screams like hell (Akrapovic) and leave me way behind like a TGV !
N NO sounds like a BMW M2
billy heaton yup ! tiny inline-6 !
it's bigger than the one in my dad's car
Max Rutté Yep it does XD
Great video as always! I was surprised to see no Ducatis on the list - they were the only manufacturer to use desmodronic valves for years and it gave their bikes (which are mostly big V-twins) a distinctive sound.

umm ... suzuki RE500? Norton classic, RCW, etc? Triumph triples? Honda CBX1000? Suzuki GT750? etc etc
Lots of very cool engine configurations out there.
visio always makes such high quality videos. and that last bike is ridiculous lol
Thanks
Coming back 5 years later to encourage a redux of this awesome video! 🙏
I really enjoyed watching this. Thank you for the video! :)
You are welcome, cheers!
nice video, keep up the good work Visio
Love this channel lots of cool engines out there please keep making videos
Awesome upload. Really enjoyed abd am waiting for more engine videos
good vídeo. for the next you can remember Suter MMX 500 (2-strokes, V4, 195 hp and only 127 kg) Kawasaki H2R (the first stock bike with a supercharger) Dodge Tomahawk (the bike with a Viper engine) Ducati panigale 1299 (the most powerfull 2 cilindres engine) the maseratti bike (with quattroporte engine) and more...
motorcycles ! so many original designs ! the creativity of motorcycle engineers is incredible ! they are passionated about their projects...
Great footage and nicely put together.
Unlike similar themed videos this one did not disappoint.
nice to see visio covering motorcycles 2 keep up the good work :)
One of my mates had an RD-RZ500, he never took passengers, his Jerry can was strapped to the seat as it never made it between Gas Stations!
Excellent post thanks VR.
The RG500 was as close as most people would get to driving a 500cc two stroke race bike on the road. Tuned they had lousy economy and a powerband sharp enough to cut yourself on, but boy did they deliver huge power for their size and weight. Spondon used to make a frame for them, probably still would if you asked, that gave you a more rigid connection between the front and rear wheels.
The 500cc two strokes were awesome. I had a RD350 YPVS and every ride was a huge grin, I so much wanted a 500 but never got one. Probably best as I nearly killed myself with the 350.
RG500 wins in my books. the sound of these things coming on the pipe is something a four stroke will ne er duplicate. plus I own one still
Or maybe stick the RG500 in🤔
An NSR 250 chassis??
Maybe 300lbs? Stiff as anything.
Might work really well?
The sound of the inline 6 kinda reminded me of a high revving 2JZ
I wonder why
more like the inline sixes from the M3's
haha idiot..
Anthony Levin Jean Paul I know it said that but Ik for some reason I was hearing more of a 2JZ sound
RB26 Skyline under big boost sounds better than the 2JZ.
I usually hate the sound of 2 strokes, but damn that square 4 sounded majestic
TwinSpinner indeed! i fell in love with it!
the power ban would rip ur arms off.
mitchsfarm i think you are thinking if the gas turbine, not the 2 stroke lol
Yamaha R1 Crossplane is the second best sounding thing, first is the C63 AMG
Not even close
Try the Aprilia V4
Andrew Lewer not as good in my opinion
SecondGear To each their own.
A friend of mine has the R1 and it sounds soooo weird compared to my Kawasaki inline-4! And when I say weird, I mean cool! A cool bike to listen to, a cool bike to look at and even more cool to ride! :)
edit: Oh and I totally agree about the Merc, my absolute dream car.

I should be honoured because I don't remember so many people making similar videos like me before I started. Anyway, thank you for your kind words!
VisioRacer you should definetly monetize these and make some cash
Nice video...please review Kawasaki 2300 cc V12 2 stroke by Allen Millyard
Awesome video! Notably missing the Kawasaki inline 6, circa 70's-80's.
Or the Honda CBX 6 cyl.
HONDA was only about 45 years ahead of everyone else making inline 6 bike engines. Some of the most amazing machines, even today. The technology was unbelievable.
Honda was just plain mental back then.. wicked technology
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Those motorcycle engineers sure are a wacky bunch.
Good Guy Visio.Never forgets about polish vids.
Does anybody else want to slap the dudes that feel a constant repetitious rev that sounds like a skipping record is good for showing us what the engine sounds like?
Show us the whole rev range and a few throttle position combos!
Wow that mtt turbine is a monster of a bike
Nice upload man, would have liked to have seen that gas turbine tearing up the road !
BMW needs to put that 6-cylinder engine in a V-Max/Diavel style cruiser or simply strip down a K1600GT into a sports naked. That engine would be insane in a lightweight bike.
There are still some more unusual motorcycle engines: the Moto Morini / Morbidelli V8 with a longitudinal V8, the BMW K75/100 with longitudinal 3/4cylinder engines tilted by 90°, the Ariel Square 4, the Triumph Rocket III with a huge 2.3 litre longitudinal 3 cylinder engine, the massive V8 Boss Hoss, the Tomahawk V10, etc. However, very interesting video...
I never knew there was a V5 engine on a bike ! please do more of these videos :D
I love the old two strokes. They were great to ride and sounded fantastic.
Bikes. Now we're talking.
OH YESH bikes + 2stroke = AWESOME i LOVE bikes and 2strokes :D great video as always visio!
8:19 One of my teacher (as a car mechanic) worked for Honda on this oval pistons and on the grid . As I asked, why oval, he told me, to fit 6 valves on one zylinder.
Only the piston rings made them some problems. At least in the beginning.
I've ridden a Kawasaki H1, they're so much fun.
you are by far the craziest engine nut I know of!
Single Cylinder Sound in:
2:41 Boxer 2 Engine
3:34 Square 4 Engine
4:32 - 8:18 V4 Engine
7:22 i4 Engine
8:48 Honda NR500
Twin Cylinder Sound in:
0:57 i4 Engine
6:22 V8 Engine
Triple Cylinder Sound in:
9:09 V6 Engine
10:00 i6 Engine
I remember reading that Rossi's contract apparently included one of the V5s. I imagine he uses it as the coolest dining table centerpiece in history.
I miss the two strokes. They where easy to fix and lots of fun to ride. I wish the big manufacturers would of developed them more instead of just getting rid of them. Honda doesn't even make a two stroke engine production motorcycle anymore....sad.
Man I love your vids!
the last is epic, hahaha... jetplane
Except for the spool up time. *Sigh*
It's one of its kind and epic
The BMW is not the only I6 bike, look at the Honda CBX 1000, Kawasaki Z1300 and Benelli Sei.
love this channel
Love the sound of the 3 cylinder 2 stroke!
Yet another video that makes me need to watch Can`t Die Tonight, Ghost Rider Tribute, AGAIN..
another great video!
Another super video. Thanks.
What sort of clutch did the turbine use?
Sweet music to the ears especially the 2 stroke triple kwaka and the V6 Laverda. Only thing I would have loved to see/hear that wasn't on there is a water cooled 2 stroke triple i.e. The Suzuki GT750 aka 'the kettle'.

Guzzi V-8
There has been a true square four motorcycle engine made from 1930 up to 1959, it's the Ariel square four, a British motorcycle manufacturer.

It was still one of the fastest streetbikes of it's era.
Bike Content!!! YESSSS, more more more :D
That cross plane crank i4 sounds like a mini American v8
Boxer is the worst, nice vid btw
Yay! A bike vid!

I had the CBX 1000 on the list, but as there were more Hondas yet on the list, I swapped it for the BMW inline-6
Oh, I see then ! Hopefully in another video ;)
The Moto Guzzi V8. Footage from Pukekohe Raceway in New Zealand.
That laverda v6 sounds soooo gooood!!
i love u visio racer :D
Enjoyed this video a lot thank you..
The Honda V5 was working like V2. Firstly were triggered the three cylinders together on the one side and then the other two cylinders together. Also the BMW sound reminds M3 e46 sound.
Wow what a vlog.I dint know about so many types of engine and their placement on the bike.This opened a new horizon for learning more.Thanks
Would like to hear more about non piston engines .my knowledge is limited to Wankel rotary,are there any other kinds?
Turbine engines and there are liquid piston rotary engines but not many more. Some very obscure spherical engines that never made it to bigger production
That crossplane inline 4 sounds really baddass, a lot different than you would expect from a 4 cylinder engine
Awesome vid! I love these quirky engine vids, but what about the three cam inline 4 prototype developed by Motoczysz? It was definitely unique.
That Y2K is a joy to hear when it starts
Great video!!!
For a rider n a bike fan.. Youre good 👍 well done
In my town there is an important Honda dealer, he had for a lot of years an NR750 (oval pistons) in his showroom... Jay Leno owns an Y2K... very interesting video, thanks!
The H1 sounds like a Mazda 20b
It seems you are from Hungary? Nice videos, a lot of knowledge and nice understandable English in words and written! My Toys are Suzuki Hayabusa GSXR 1300 , 2001 , for my satisfaction and Honda Valkyrie GL 1500, 2003 for riding with my wife around the town! Siveshe!
Thanks, although I come from Slovakia :)
VisioRacer
I've been there in the 80.and 90 Barno, Kosice, Visoke Tatry.Presov, Bratislava , Popras. Predne Solisko. I was 24 . I'm riding bikes since 1967. Simson, Java, CZ, MZ, ИЖ Планета, Ковровец, , Honda CX 500, Kawasaki 750 GPZR, Yamaha Virago 750 Chopper , Yamaha R 1. I like your videos! Thank you for the effort.
Szóval magyar vagy vagy tót?
BEGONE, TOT! xD
That BWM 6 was amazing and did sound just like a M3. The star of the show was the Honda NS 500! 3 cylinder 2stroke!!
Interesting how the engines all sound "right". The V6s sound like V6s, the inline 6s sound the part, the two-stroke fours sound a lot like flat plane V8s, the Honda V5 sounds like any other five, and so on.
I'd love to hear that tiny Honda 5 cylinder engine at some real revs. A cross between an F1 engine and a model airplane. :-)
125 cc 5 cylinder wtf. hahahaha
The R1 Crossplane engine I think is pretty much the sexiest sounding engine to date. Its incredible with a decent exhaust
One of my dream bikes is a Honda CB1000, nicknamed the CB6.
An inline 6 liter bike that sounds sooo smooth with the right pipes.
I think I-6's sound better on high revving bikes than cars.
I love that the guy with the literal jet bike is squidding.
WTF, that gas turbine bike is badass
that last one was absolutely gorgeous
Hoping to see a Ducati SuperMono for its unique balancer, an Ariel Square Four, cause they did it before Suzuki and of course the RE5 rotary.... But never the less, well done list and clips.
You forgot the longitudinal inline 3 and 4's from the earlier BMW K series. Those are some funky engines. Basically a small car engine on a bike.
What about the Horex VR6 with the VW VR6 Engine or the Münch Mammutt 1000TT with a 2.0 Litre Opel Calibra Turbo engine?
Nice one as always.
