Probably the main issue would have been if a Mammoth fell over with or without you on board, getting it upright again would have been an interesting challenge - ! 😲 😄
@@hughcrawford5 I was told by a not too reliable source in the early 70s that Harley made an 1800cc 'Super Glide' that wasn't exported to the UK because at the time, the police didn't have anything that could catch it - ! 🤣
I love that front drum brake, it's beautiful. Would look great on a cafe bike. Got a chance to look at a mammoth at the Barber museum, it's very impressive in person
In 1977, the German celebrity and playboy Gunther Sachs drove over my foot in a crowd in St. Tropez, France, with his Münch TTS. That was actually the only time I saw a Münch live and in color. :))
Another gem, thanks! I first learned of the Mammut by playing the Top Trumps card game - you knew if the category was capacity, you were on to a winner! And, yes, please do a follow up!
'" Packed with electronics" what on earth are you talking about? This is 1960's the most electronic part of the bike was probably the condenser( = capacitor) in the ignition system. All these old cars had few if any electronics as we know them today. Try some research!
3:21 As far as I know, the Münch brake was never sold to any team - they preferred Ceriani and Fontana! During a test by "Das Motorrad" in 1973, the top speed of the 1200 cc Münch Mammut was 207 km/h, far from your 225 km/h! In 1977, the top speed of the now 1278 cc measuring Mammut was given as "Over 200 km/h", in 1978 it was measured as 196 km/h - where did you get that figure of 225 km/h?. 5:05 It was NOT the first production motor cycle with alloy wheels. 5:11 There were four cylinder motor cycles long before the Münch, and long before the Japanese fours? Two years, to be exact! 5:25 Absolutely NOT! The frame was tubular steel! 5:53 Testers of "Das Motorrad" complained of difficult handling because of the short wheelbase! As usual with these videos of motorcycle history, you know too little of the real history!
Yeah this is typical of people with little or no knowledge of motorcycles and their history, make a video riddled with inaccuracies and hope it does well.
Always wanted one of them.. lets see the later one in a video.. thats what a motorcycle was suppose to look like ! Any others were just wanta B's.... Wonder what an original supercharged one is worth now ?
Helmut Fath made 500cc four cylinder engines for racing sidecar machines, and three world chapionships were won with that outfit. Later, he made a liquid cooled two stroke flat four.
I so remember the Mammoth and I really wanted one. A 1200cc engine on a motor bike was unheard of at the time - ! 😅
Darn it made as much power as my bandit1200 from 2006

Harley-Davidson had a 74 cubic inch (1,212.6 cc) V-Twin engine in 1921
Not particularly powerful, but still…

@@giostisskylas why did you put your foot in front of that Münch. Don’t understand this
You should have sued him for a milliom dollars😂
Munchy looking motorcycle!😺👍
It should have been called Munchabusa!
I used that NSU 110 engine to make inverted aircraft engine with VW K 70 crankshaft.
Those bikes are truly gigantic and awesome, with absolutely no other to compare with
The latest model 6:50 looks legit , let's hope it's not too heavy .
its already an old bike now
380 KG
A collection of interesting Munch variants was displayed in Speyer, in the Technik Museum, Germany. They reserved a complete corner for them.
that teaser at the end... yes, please!

I got the chance to help my boss put fuel injection on one of them. The thing was a beast Only bike that came close was a KZ1300.

My cat says Henderson were making 4 cylinder bikes decades prior

His name is mÜnch not Munsch
Wie kann man den Namen so versauern.

to those thinking that a german can not make a motorbike without a flat twin.

Moto Guzzi was doing 275 km/h with their 500cc V8 racing motorcycle in 1956...
@@Stuntman175 so, so what. That Münch is street legal. How can you make a comparison
Even my cat can hit 300kph on a V8 engine😂
A Munch is not a hyperbike its is one of the first superbikes
WOW
Ai sound track needs to go!
arrêtez votre cinéma avec cette bouse, parlez nous plutôt de l'histoire de cette magnifique voiture qui est derrière...
That clanging bell in the background is bloody annoying
His name was Münch, not Munch! Don't talk rubbish!
"weird"
Anyone else notice that this video is littered with AI filler and the stats don't match the bike being shown?
