Wow , That was a nice trip down memory lane . I began spectating at motorcycle road races at Harewood Acres in Ontario back in 1966 . Harewood was a repurposed Commonwealth training airfield from WW2 and it has long since closed , replaced by an oil refinery . That track drew a lot of USA race teams from the surrounding states including Bob Hansen and his immaculate bikes , the team from Boston Yamaha with Kevin Cameron wrenching , frequent appearances by Yvon Duhamel and Mike Duff . It was during those years that Andreas showed up with his home-built racer with the 4 cylinder Honda car engine at Harewood and at Mosport before disappearing . In 1972 I went for a summer of bicycle riding and motorcycle race watching in Europe and that took me to Mallory Park in England for one event . What a surprise it was that Andreas was racing his Honda in England that day too .
Carburation is becoming a lost art for sure. I started my bike career in 1990 when carbs were the norm and got to see everything switch to fi over the years so I was in a good place to learn both. Only time I used Webers on a bike was on a GL1000 and they were a serious downgrade from the stock carbs but I am sure they have their advantages for what he is doing.
One of Allen Millyard's several brothers-from-other-mothers. Pete Aardema is one. Le Dan in Vietnam is another. Dieter Hartmann-Wirthwein, who built a V8 out of a Ducati twin, is, too. So is the Czech guy who built the Bistella. And there's got to be an Australian somewhere in the family. EDIT of EDIT: There is: Pat Maloney, an Australian, designed and built a V8 from Yamaha parts. (ua-cam.com/video/fB3FhzMh1o4/v-deo.html) He plans a limited production run.
@@russtaylor2122 He was actually from NZ, and he built only one cycle rather than several. But there was Burt Munro, who came from OZ, and rebuilt Indian cycles - he cast his own pistons and OHV hemi heads in his garden shed, and was working on a DOHC conversion when he shuffled off the mortal coil.

I have to disagree with you man. Electric motors and vehicles can just be as cool with innovation. It’s just not as loud and has a different power curve lol

Unfortunately, he's got nothing on Allen Millyard....now _that guy_ and his hand built engines and bikes, are utterly phenomenal.... nothing shown here I'd want to be seen on, let alone try to even ride ...at least all of Allen's bikes look awesome, and I'd kill for one of his Kawasaki 2 strokes, even his little Honda. Either way, both have much more talent and skill than I'll ever possess 😅🤷🏻♂️
The Napier Sabre was a H24, it had two predecessors, the Rapier air cooled H16 and the Dagger air cooled H24 and later the Rolls-Royce Eagle 22 which was a H24. These were not the first H engines. The engine in the Lotus was designed and built by BRM and was a bit of a disaster, it was big and heavy with too much weight up top and was completely outclassed by the just released Cosworth. There was an H-engine motorcycle before this one, the Brough Superior Golden Dream was an H4, only a few prototypes were built before WWII intervened, Brough MotorCycles did not survive WWII.
@@kevinjones3900 😁 From my list of H-engines. Some built in low numbers, some maybe not at all - just 'engineering exercises'. Argus As 412 an air-cooled H-24 with a 120 mm bore and 130 mm stroke to give 35.3 L, about 1,000 hp (745 kW) at 2,700 rpm Argus As 413 possibly some parts including cylinder blocks were from Junkers Jumo 213s possibly 70 litres - 4000hp Argus As 14 possibly air cooled H24 probably not built Argus As 403 possibly air cooled H24 probably not built Argus As 404 possibly liquid cooled H24 probably not built arsenal 24h reputedly some parts including cylinder blocks were from Junkers Jumo 213s as per As 413 Clerget Transatlantique Continental XH-2860 Fairey Monarch Fairey Prince Hispano-Suiza-24y-type-90 Jalbert-Loire 16-HJ Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz Dz720 Lycoming XH-2470 Menasco XH-4070 Napier Dagger Napier E112 (enlarged Dagger) Napier Rapier Napier Sabre Packard 1A-3000 Packard 2A-5000 Pratt & Whitney XH-2240 Pratt & Whitney XH-2600 Pratt & Whitney XH-3130 Pratt & Whitney XH-3730 Ranger XH-1850 Reggiane H-24 Rolls-Royce Eagle 22 Samara P-065 Studebaker XH-9350 Wright XH-4240
The BRM H16 (both versions) was not a success, it was too heavy, too big and top heavy. It was completely outclassed by the then just released Cosworth V8.
In my experiences, that would mean a normally aspirated 8 cylinder engine, using commercially available kart racing cylinders to achieve 400 rwhp, whereas a V4 1000 would be nearer 300 using reworked motocross cylinders. V4s are easy to achieve as a two stroke, not sure an 8 cylinder could be, especially using rotary valve
@@Jeweltocool He did not say how many cylinders. Could be many considering less valvetrain volume needed. A hundred little Cox engines hooked together... Yeah, that's the ticket. Wait... maybe it would take a thousand. There has to be little Cox engine V-8s out there in the RC world. 400HP might be a stretch though. So, you don't think they can be 'made that big' as in a single bore or such? I think the intake scavenging would differ a bit, but could still be done with multiple intake ports with flap valves. It would be loud too. Maybe do 2 or 4 smaller bores. 4 Suzuki 250cc '76ish dirt bike engines in parallel. That would scream.. Those bikes sure did. Not sure about the desired hp thing though. Might actually 'race' faster than a four stroke.
So how many bikes have you designed and built, being as you suggest the rest are junk? They may not be the most aesthetically graceful of machines, but here is no doubting the ingenuity that he builds with and the power figures. Whilst he may not have the finish of someone like Allen Millyard on his bikes there is no getting away from the technical mastery that go into his builds. So lets see your builds then.
Back in 1970 I took my bunk bed ladder out in the garage and drilled a hole in the center of the top cross bar, and mounted a 2X4 and two lawn mower wheels on it with a rope for steering. On the back of the now horizontal ladder, was a fixed alignment 2X4 and I fixed an axle to it and a pulley to mount the rear wheels onto , which I locked onto the axle. I put a car battery in the back, and mounted up a reverse attached old '50s era car generator to operate it as a motor. I was playing with it in the garage when I found I could run it as a motor, which is when I got the go-cart idea. It worked... little did I know. I was only ten years old. Mine was under-engineered JUNK! Then we spent a year or so riding a "Big Wheel" down the hill and doing spin-outs at the bottom. No engine needed.

A 100% mechanical genius. It’s so easy to add fuel injection to his creations to make them work but even for a 2020 H16 he opts for Webers. Amazing!

Your video has filled an inexplicable void in my motorcycle knowledge, thank you. The engine to frame ratio in that last shot is incredible!
Wow , what an amazing guy , much respect for him .
very cool. if you get the motorcycle bug amazing things can happen.
Andreas, you have my respect for being barmy & building outstanding Bikes 👍
I wonder if these large engines would classify his creations as being among the heaviest motorcycles in existence.
The BRM H-16 was in first place used by the BRM team themselves, Team Lotus used it too but in a lesser extent.
A motorcycle engineering genius no doubt , but the motorcycles themselves are CRAZY Frankenstein !
