I very very appreciate positive comments about my English. No, I am not perfect, but I am willing to be. I am learning a new language. If you were learning Slovak language (as my native language) I'd be very happy and respect your hard work, so I don't understand why people don't appreciate my efforts. If you couldn't understand my speech, I'd understand that, but even native English speakers can. Please, give me a break, I am doing my best. One day I would like to be as fluent as a native guy, perhaps even with a proper English accent. To those who ask I am not going to stop talking, I enjoy that even though it actually takes more time to finish the video. Cheers to you, buddies, I very appreciate you enjoy these videos, I do my best to keep them entertaining and educational. Stay cool!
I understand you just fine, what I don't understand is why people are complaining. Your accent is just fine. I'm trying to learn Spanish as a second language, so I understand how challenging learning a new language can be. Keep up the good work!
I honestly have no idea why people are giving you such a hard time. I can understand you pretty well, and sure, you say a few words a little funny, and I can definitely hear an accent, but I also know plenty of people here in the US that can't speak English as well as you.
VisioRacer I enjoy the videos you talk in more than the ones where you don't! You have such an interesting perspective on cars and a very different taste than many other creators on TH-cam.
One. I'm American and speak English fluently and I understand him clearly. Two. He even put what he was speaking in words on the screen. So are you guys that are being mean to him saying you can't even read? Get a life and leave him alone. Great video btw; lots of info! :)
VisioRacer hey there I’m from Canada and hear you loud and clear my friend love your videos and I think they have some of the most interesting information and are always well made and very easy to listen to people will bitch about anything lol
i dont think they were backfires, a 2 stroke expells some unburned fuel right out the exhaust, some even expell unburned fire out the exhaust sometimes that lights the unburned fuel and you get that cool ass flamethrower
A real 2 Stroke don't have valves, the Detroit Diesel have an exaust valve. Yes, it works in two strokes. But way different than normal 2 Stroke Petrol engines. Different is No Air/fuel/oil Mix. And the exaust valve. Thats the reason why iam say, it is Not a Common 2 Stroke.
@@ossy3rd it’s a rarefied 2 stroke. Wet bottom end I guess? Poppet valves to eliminate ring bulge into ports? Sound like a design suited to high duty, long life
I bought a 2 stroke minibike for my 7 year old son. I thought it would be fun for him to drive round the farm we lived on. I rode it first. He's never getting on it. The thing would do about 40mph. At least. Crazy little bike. Luv and Peace.
As an old two-stroke dirt bike racer......nothing sounds as good as a 2-stroke. Love 'em. My buddy and I set up an old Saab two-stroke to race on country roads.......it never let us down. Until you experience a 3 cylinder 2-stroke Kawasaki road bike when it goes into tank slappers at speed, you've never lived.......definitely time from fresh underwear!
2:11 Evinrude (part of OMC along with Johnson) made outboard boat motors. (OMC stands for Outboard Marine Corporation.) Having repurposed a raw water cooled marine engine for a sports car is unique.
An interesting fact is that here in Brazil a lot of two-stroke motorcycles are running with ethanol. It's a very common modification here, which can give some extra hp. Nice video, congratulations! ;)
The light turns green, the big rig next to you takes off sounding like the meanest muscle car you ever heard. When the smoke clears and your goose bumps disappear, you realize you haven't started moving yet.
I remember that Kawasaki 500 beast. It was the hottest "cafe racer" in the early 70s, sounding sharp like an old F1 engine. Drivers told me you got to buy a new chain every 3000 km. That beast was reacting to the throttle as fast as a man drinks water after 3 days in the desert.
Nothing quite like the sound of a Detroit Diesel running wide open. :D Great video as always! And hey, props for including a clip of that older fire engine from Newmanstown, PA with the 6V-92. That's not far from where I live and when I was living out in central PA there was no shortage of old two-stroke trucks, buses, and fire apparatus at local shows. What a symphony that was.
I still very fondly remember my school bus from elementary school. That DD sound is something special. I would also run after the bus when it took off, cause I loved the smell of its exhaust. (Probably explains a lot.......)
There used to be an annual classic car event in my city, and one of the regular participants was a white Saab Sonett II like the one in this clip. The sound of it is so spectacular that it got more attention than the supercars when they were leaving at the end of the show... guess the huge plumes of exhaust smoke helped a bit, but it was really fun to see everybody's heads turning for that little car.
The H1 was nor more "evil handling" than any other large Japanese bike of the day. You didn't really want to try dragging knee on any of them, but if you rode like a sensible human being, they're fine. Problem is, the H1 and later the H2 were the fastest accelerating stock street-legal vehicles in the world at the time, dusting all other bikes and all stock muscle cars. On top of that, they were WAY cheaper than the big 750 Honda or any of the hot British bikes. That means they attracted a certain type of rider: young, inexperienced, and crazy. So people died on the triples, for the same reason people die on cheap Craigslist R1s today. Also, when riding one today, the addition of modern tires and shocks make them extremely tame. If you want a Kawasaki triple but held off because of the reputation, just get one. If you're into vintage bikes, they're as good as anything.

In 1974 I had one of the rare Wartburg Knights imported into the UK, it was a superb car, well built, well designed, Before the Knight I had the earlier Wartburg saloon which was a very heavy car and for some odd reason because it had a separate contact breaker to each cylinder was very difficult to start, so only had it for a year and bought the Knight which was fine, The 900 cc engine was so good it even towed our caravan around the highlands of Scotland, I still have a unique wheel jack sitting in my garage at home, (going free to a Wartburg enthusiast)
These videos are just wonderful and you do an amazing job with them. I, too, had to learn a second language that is now my main language and the fact that you narrate these videos really impresses me. Thank you very much. They are highly appreciated.
Another interesting 2-stroke is the DKW 3 cylinder 1L. It's weak but it sounds like a V6 and it was used in the GT Malzoni (a brazilian sport car from 1964)!
To the best of my knowledge both the SAAB and Wartburg engines were based on the two stroke DKW lump. For more 'interesting' stroker exhaust notes check out the Commer TS3 and English Electric Deltic locomotives.
My very first real job was driving a mining truck powered by a 2500hp quad turbo 16V149T, those things were loud enough to wake the dead. Such a cool sound.
I didn't even realize that the Detroit diesel 871 was two stoke. We had those on the tug boat I worked on as generators. We would run those for two weeks straight before having to change the oil. They did have that same sound though, and we ran them at about 1700-2300 rpms can't remember exactly. Very reliable engines.
As a Wisconsin-based Volvo fan who loves two strokes, this thing (1:58) is pretty much family to me. Great video, I'm loving the effort put in to each one!
I like the English. This seems to be a passion for you and I love that. It's YOUR channel. Your choice. Keep it up. You're the original top-10 car channel and I'll always watch you and only your channel.
loved the fire breathing saab 93. and the sonett. i hadn't known about the detroit diesel 2 strokes. and visio, i like your english. it's clear and not everyone should sound the same. like 2 strokes, you have your own distinctive sound.
I had a 1975 Kawasaki 250 triple. With expansion chambers,K&N air filters, and re-jet the carbs, it was the fastest bike I ever rode. I weighed over 200lbs and it went 125mph down a runway at the airport I worked at the time. Wish I still had it.
Unfortunately tuned to the point of losing all of the great low and mid range power those engines had. They were long stroke, old school Euro 2 cycles and they are getting rare as hens teeth, fun to hear, but damn as an owner I hate seeing them abused at RPMs they were never designed to run at.
Thanks for this video, very well made. My uncle, God rest his soul, was a Saab 2-stroke fanatic, he built at least 4 engines in his home shop and restored at least 3 or 4 old two stroke Saabs, I loved riding in those beasts, they sounded amazing. His dream was to build a monster 3 cylinder Saab engine with 3 carburetors and higher performance.
I enjoy the voice over as it gives useful pieces of knowledge to the video that you otherwise wouldn't have known if you aren't a hardcore car knowledge connoisseur.
Trabants also can sound pretty cool I think, but a huge like for starting with the Wartburg! Would you make an eastern block special? I think on this side of the iron courtain were some quite great, or really cute cars!:)
Balázs Bartha I agree. Those cars, like the Warburg,Trabant, Lada, etc. are fascinating. They may have been tin cans, but you could fix them in your bedroom with some screws that you've found in your pocket and they had to survive brutal East European winters. Also, you could buy them for what would amount to a month's rent in western countries!
1959 Commer truck designed to take the "flat" TS3 engine with its horizontally mounted cylinders. With the engine mounted beneath the floor of the cab, the bonnet (hood) of the truck could be dispensed with. The windscreen and driver were then moved to the front of the vehicle, resulting in the UK's first short-cab lorry.
Great video, as ever! Keep up your good work and keep on talking. I've absolutely no problem with it! And for me nice to see my Goggomobil video in this compilation. It is from my friend, a 250cc version. It is fun to drive with. Cheers and thumbs up from me✌👍
Hello, Visio Racer! First I want to say I really like listening to you speak. Your English is excellent, and your voice is very pleasant to my ears. I never have any trouble understanding what you say. It's part of what I enjoy about your channel. I wish I could speak a language that is not native to me so well. Don't let anybody who has problems with it get to you. They just have lazy ears. Your channel is unique and the fact that you have real human voice narration means a lot to me. I can't listen to those fake robot voices some people use. Keep up you great work and ignore the fools! I can't seem to get enough of the crazy 2-stroke engines! You've probably heard about the Rolls-Royce Crecy engine- it was a military aircraft engine developed in WWII that was a 2-stroke V-12 (!) with sleeve valves. It never made it into production because the war ended and also by that time jet engines were coming into use. No films or audio recordings were made, sadly, but it apparently was extremely loud and could be heard quite a distance away. Great video as always, you're the best!
Great video! People are complaining about your English? You have nothing to worry about, you can speak it better than half of the people here in England! :) Thanks very much!
With the assumption that this script was written by you, I'd say your English is already more fluent than some native English speakers I know. Keep at it- your vocabulary is excellent, it's just the nuances and enunciation that need work. Gotta say not having seen any of your content in some time I was surprised when I heard a voice.
The suzuki quadracer was a damn good quad. Mine needed to be rebuilt so my dad took it to a guy that worked for him. When he was done with it you had to pull start it behind a truck and it was absolutely insane. It was over 350cc when he was done. Cant remember it was originally a 250 or 350cc to start with. I just remember I had no problem burning the tires off on pavement even from a roll and the when the powerband kicked it, it scared most anyone who drove it. That included a few light modified guadracer owners and some pretty heavily modded banshees
Naturally aspirated Diesel two strokes dont work. They are either supercharged or turbo and supercharged. They need the pressurized air intake to be able to run
Anything with a supercharger or a turbocharger is using forced induction by definition. It can't be called "naturally aspirated", even if this is the minimum needed for the engine to operate.
Enjoy the heck out of this channel, great content. I never really noticed anything wrong with the narration. Sounds like a euro person trying to reach a bigger audience with intellectual effort and good research. Keep it up !
Manny Hysten That's because both Wankel engines and 2 strokes produce 1 exhaust pulse per cylinder, or rotor, per revolution of the crankshaft, or eccentric shaft. Wankels are such odd engines. They run on 4 cycles, but produce power more like a 2 cycle.
Top video! Love the three cylinder 1970 bikes. I've actually ridden the Kawasaki H1 500, and the GT 380, 550 and 750 as well. Wonderful turbine sound when under load.
My father loved 2 stroke motors. He called them 2 smokes. He bought any bike that was 2 stroke and he loved getting them running. The smell i cam remember so vividly.
DKW was the original company in prewar Germany and the three cylinder two stroke of theirs was among the very first to make two stroke motor cycle and two stroke cars, and trucks. The Saab was actually a DKW powerplant
Great video, dude! Two strokes sound great, especially the diesels. You clearly put a lot of effort into your video, well researched and I like that you credited those who's clips you've used. Also, your English sounds great! I'm American and have studied French & Spanish, but I can't speak nearly as fluently in either, as you do in English.
I just loved❤️ the sound of the Detroit diesel (2 stroke) in my uncles❤️ old KW. I was about 12 when he got it, traded a Mack without a sleeper 😴for it. He said the only thing was the mileage went down a little. More than enough power to pull any mountain grade, east coast or west. It had a 40speed and rode like you were on a big comfy cloud. Those days are long gone. Uncle has passed on, he sold the last truck about 5 years before he went. Thank you for 👍🏻sharing the video post and best of 🍀
Your English is fine and your accent is totally cool sounding. I live in Canada which is bilingual. English and French. You speak English better than many French Canadians. No offence to any of them. I am sure my French sucks. :) I think all of your videos are great and totally informative. I learn a lot about from them about European vehicles that I didn't even know existed! Thanks so much!!!
Your English is exelcent espically judging by how long you have been working on it. It is my only language and I understood everything with no problem, keep up the good worl
A trip[ down memory lane for me. I well remember tooling around in my neighbours two stroke Sabb in the late 60s and on into the 70s when he gave up the Sabb and started restoring antique VW cars and vans. VisioRacer, were you aware that Detroit Diesel also manufactured the 53 series engines as well as the EMD (Electro-Motive Division) 144 series engines for diesel electric train applications as welll as marine use? Thank you again for a GREAT presentation.
Might be a dumb question but when mentioning the detroit diesel 12v you said it's a 2 stroke but the camera zoomed in on rockers... as in for valves that a 2 stroke shouldn't have.. .was that just bad b-roll?

I like the English. This seems to be a passion for you and I love that. It's YOUR channel. Your choice. Keep it up. You're the original top-10 car channel and I'll always watch you and only your channel.
loved the fire breathing saab 93. and the sonett. i hadn't known about the detroit diesel 2 strokes. and visio, i like your english. it's clear and not everyone should sound the same. like 2 strokes, you have your own distinctive sound.
Anyone here after the recent f1 rumours about going 2 stroke
Shadow Fan lmao yes!! Wanted to hear what they could possibly sound like, not too bad by the sounds of it!
I can't imagine what F1 technology and innovation would do to the 2 stroke
Thanks for the vid. I really enjoyed the (yesterdays) sounds. 👍👍👍
Your English is better than some Americans I know.😅 Howdy from Texas.👍🤠👍
I had a 1975 Kawasaki 250 triple. With expansion chambers,K&N air filters, and re-jet the carbs, it was the fastest bike I ever rode. I weighed over 200lbs and it went 125mph down a runway at the airport I worked at the time. Wish I still had it.
Never thought I'd say this, but damn that Diesel V12 is one of the best V12 exhaust notes I've ever heard.
I can understand the moderator perfectly. A lot better than some of the native English speakers I’ve heard. Good work!
Sweet my video made it on here! Thanks for using it!
6:11 That car sounds like my 2 stroke Vespa.
That last Saab was bad ass xD
Unfortunately tuned to the point of losing all of the great low and mid range power those engines had. They were long stroke, old school Euro 2 cycles and they are getting rare as hens teeth, fun to hear, but damn as an owner I hate seeing them abused at RPMs they were never designed to run at.
TaUnc Fester rare? i can buy a saab 96 2stroke for like 500 bucks in finland lel
Also to make it even better it was raced at lemans in 1959
Thanks for this video, very well made. My uncle, God rest his soul, was a Saab 2-stroke fanatic, he built at least 4 engines in his home shop and restored at least 3 or 4 old two stroke Saabs, I loved riding in those beasts, they sounded amazing. His dream was to build a monster 3 cylinder Saab engine with 3 carburetors and higher performance.
I enjoy the voice over as it gives useful pieces of knowledge to the video that you otherwise wouldn't have known if you aren't a hardcore car knowledge connoisseur.
Trabants also can sound pretty cool I think, but a huge like for starting with the Wartburg! Would you make an eastern block special? I think on this side of the iron courtain were some quite great, or really cute cars!:)
Balázs Bartha I agree. Those cars, like the Warburg,Trabant, Lada, etc. are fascinating. They may have been tin cans, but you could fix them in your bedroom with some screws that you've found in your pocket and they had to survive brutal East European winters.
Also, you could buy them for what would amount to a month's rent in western countries!
i like your accent. you speak better English than many people here in Canada. cool videos too.😊 keep it up👍
Thanks!
Is it just me or doesn't it always sound like 2 stroke engines sound like they're gonna die when idling
Yeah the 2 stroke mopeds and dirtbikes always sound like they are abt to die but not the cars i think
Nah, they sound like rotaries lol
I notice that too. Especially in husqvarna chainsaws. Sounds like a tin can motor bouncing up and down all over the place
@@randyrenne7759 my dirtbike idles pretty high. no it’s not the bike in my pfp my bike is a kx85
@@johns1625 lol that's kinda how they work, a lot of them use a mobile piston sleeve, because 2 strokes have no camshafts
My fave is truck at 7.40...sounds amazing. Going on sound alone, you would prob never guess it comes from a truck!
1959 Commer truck designed to take the "flat" TS3 engine with its horizontally mounted cylinders. With the engine mounted beneath the floor of the cab, the bonnet (hood) of the truck could be dispensed with. The windscreen and driver were then moved to the front of the vehicle, resulting in the UK's first short-cab lorry.
Great video, as ever! Keep up your good work and keep on talking. I've absolutely no problem with it!
And for me nice to see my Goggomobil video in this compilation. It is from my friend, a 250cc version.
It is fun to drive with.
Cheers and thumbs up from me✌👍
Love your videos and I like them a lot more since you've been narrating them. Keep up the good work 😁👍
I love your topics, I love your content
Hello, Visio Racer!
First I want to say I really like listening to you speak. Your English is excellent, and your voice is very pleasant to my ears. I never have any trouble understanding what you say. It's part of what I enjoy about your channel. I wish I could speak a language that is not native to me so well.
Don't let anybody who has problems with it get to you. They just have lazy ears. Your channel is unique and the fact that you have real human voice narration means a lot to me. I can't listen to those fake robot voices some people use. Keep up you great work and ignore the fools!
I can't seem to get enough of the crazy 2-stroke engines! You've probably heard about the Rolls-Royce Crecy engine- it was a military aircraft engine developed in WWII that was a 2-stroke V-12 (!) with sleeve valves. It never made it into production because the war ended and also by that time jet engines were coming into use. No films or audio recordings were made, sadly, but it apparently was extremely loud and could be heard quite a distance away. Great video as always, you're the best!
Great video! People are complaining about your English? You have nothing to worry about, you can speak it better than half of the people here in England! :) Thanks very much!
Now SPASS PUR MOTORSPORT has made a great step in the word wide web with the Two-Stroke Wartburg made by Wehle Racing. Thank you Guys.
dude all of this engine sounds like a rotary mazda engine some one sounds like a bike and sounds like a Honda engine but as always good video ;-)
With the assumption that this script was written by you, I'd say your English is already more fluent than some native English speakers I know. Keep at it- your vocabulary is excellent, it's just the nuances and enunciation that need work.
Gotta say not having seen any of your content in some time I was surprised when I heard a voice.
Thank you, buddy!
I live in west Canada and there is a red Saab Sonnet sitting in an alley behind a tuner shop next to a bunch of 240s and skylines etc.
Music to my ears😊. Love the sound of 2 strokes
you have forgotten the yamaha banshee!
Abdullah Al-duraibi ....that's cuz the Banshee is junk....
The suzuki quadracer was a damn good quad. Mine needed to be rebuilt so my dad took it to a guy that worked for him. When he was done with it you had to pull start it behind a truck and it was absolutely insane. It was over 350cc when he was done. Cant remember it was originally a 250 or 350cc to start with. I just remember I had no problem burning the tires off on pavement even from a roll and the when the powerband kicked it, it scared most anyone who drove it. That included a few light modified guadracer owners and some pretty heavily modded banshees
No he forgot the trx250r and quadzilla
Wr500 and wr250z
No
Ahhh I realy miss two strokes man.....all bikes 500cc or under should be two stroke. End of. Thanks for the vid..
Mytim34 Ouch! Can I cancel this sound with a jackhammer, pleaaase, I beg. Arrrrgh, stink me to the max. Stink with 30% more AND extra plus too.
Maico 700cc 2stroke
Last Saab - best!
That little Saab spitting flames, priceless. I love your channel!
-I likes that wittle Saab the bestest of all. Berry good lookin machine. And really does sound pretty good.
I'm amazed by engines in general. I never stopped being amazed by cars and the ways they come in.
Now F1 wants to use 2 stroke engines by 2025
Lets do it fuck it
Oppoused Piston like T64 tank
i’d love that pure music
The best sounding 2 stroke engine is my chainsaw
Naturally aspirated Diesel two strokes dont work. They are either supercharged or turbo and supercharged. They need the pressurized air intake to be able to run
They do work. They are naturally combined with a mechanical blower. That's their natural aspiration.
Anything with a supercharger or a turbocharger is using forced induction by definition. It can't be called "naturally aspirated", even if this is the minimum needed for the engine to operate.
This is why it is not called a supercharger, but rather a blower.
That doesn't make any sense.
VisioRacer sorry, but from my research, it is actually said that a N/A 2 stroke diesel is physically impossible, and "blower" still means supercharger
quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. your English is getting super good, and you have an awesome accent! keep up the good work man
Thank you for your kind words!!
Enjoy the heck out of this channel, great content. I never really noticed anything wrong with the narration. Sounds like a euro person trying to reach a bigger audience with intellectual effort and good research. Keep it up !
coeg those 3 cyl 2 stroke ,sounds like 911 porsche
They all have that rotary-esqe brap brap
Manny Hysten That's because both Wankel engines and 2 strokes produce 1 exhaust pulse per cylinder, or rotor, per revolution of the crankshaft, or eccentric shaft.
Wankels are such odd engines. They run on 4 cycles, but produce power more like a 2 cycle.
It'd be cool if there was a 2 stroke wankel
oooohhhhhh fuck yeah baby detroit diesel
Top video! Love the three cylinder 1970 bikes. I've actually ridden the Kawasaki H1 500, and the GT 380, 550 and 750 as well. Wonderful turbine sound when under load.
My father loved 2 stroke motors. He called them 2 smokes. He bought any bike that was 2 stroke and he loved getting them running. The smell i cam remember so vividly.
1:10 Stopped watching when I saw this muffler.
XOLiD why?
Probably first
Indeed
Ignore the idiots that are giving you a hard time. You're doing great and have excellent videos. Keep up the good work.
Music to my ears ❤ I love these old 2-Stroke engines.
Thanks!
Thank you!
DKW was the original company in prewar Germany and the three cylinder two stroke of theirs was among the very first to make two stroke motor cycle and two stroke cars, and trucks. The Saab was actually a DKW powerplant
Great video, dude! Two strokes sound great, especially the diesels. You clearly put a lot of effort into your video, well researched and I like that you credited those who's clips you've used. Also, your English sounds great! I'm American and have studied French & Spanish, but I can't speak nearly as fluently in either, as you do in English.
I just loved❤️ the sound of the Detroit diesel (2 stroke) in my uncles❤️ old KW. I was about 12 when he got it, traded a Mack without a sleeper 😴for it. He said the only thing was the mileage went down a little. More than enough power to pull any mountain grade, east coast or west. It had a 40speed and rode like you were on a big comfy cloud. Those days are long gone. Uncle has passed on, he sold the last truck about 5 years before he went. Thank you for 👍🏻sharing the video post and best of 🍀
When I hear your voice I immediately know I'm turned into the good stuff. Thanks from Western Iowa
10:27
Holy symphonies, Visio, that car sounds amazing! Like music to one's ears.
Your English is fine and your accent is totally cool sounding. I live in Canada which is bilingual. English and French. You speak English better than many French Canadians. No offence to any of them. I am sure my French sucks. :) I think all of your videos are great and totally informative. I learn a lot about from them about European vehicles that I didn't even know existed! Thanks so much!!!
Visioracer..for me ,one of the best youtubers we can see today
Your English is exelcent espically judging by how long you have been working on it. It is my only language and I understood everything with no problem, keep up the good worl
A trip[ down memory lane for me. I well remember tooling around in my neighbours two stroke Sabb in the late 60s and on into the 70s when he gave up the Sabb and started restoring antique VW cars and vans. VisioRacer, were you aware that Detroit Diesel also manufactured the 53 series engines as well as the EMD (Electro-Motive Division) 144 series engines for diesel electric train applications as welll as marine use? Thank you again for a GREAT presentation.
I'm fortunate and blessed to have driven several trucks with V8 Detroit engines. That sound was what got me into trucking.
Might be a dumb question but when mentioning the detroit diesel 12v you said it's a 2 stroke but the camera zoomed in on rockers... as in for valves that a 2 stroke shouldn't have.. .was that just bad b-roll?
Had 4 exhaust valves per cylinder, ports for intake. Same for all Detroit Diesels.
