"Controversially he's added a 1000cc" should have said "as everyone would have expected him to he's fitted a 1000cc", to be fair I'm surprised he didn't put a 1200 in.
Legend. Guys videos especially his Hill climb beast inspired me to get going on my Yamaha Fazer 600 and make a beast out of it, Directly telling you to get going on a project if you aren't lol
I hear you man I have a 1996 gsxr 750 srad that I’m building up it was a fast bike before I started working on it when I’m done I hope it will be faster 👍🇨🇦
Me old Ford fiesta my dad bought for me used to do this... had to replace all the doors... then she got stolen and set alight rip Besty. Ran on fumes and loved tuff love.
Why not put skis on it? Just under the doors, slightly tucked in under the chassis to avoid contact with other drivers rear wheels. Slight angle, like just halfway down, so when it starts to roll, it will bottom out on the skis sticking down from under the doors, and slide/stop rolling early. Are skis banned from the sport?
The ones they use for competition do have some protection for the rear wheels in form of a sort of cage or more of a bar surrounding the front and the sides. Preventing it from rolling though, I don't know, it's kind of cute when they go up on 2 wheels like a dog taking a leak. th-cam.com/video/boDL5i8O24c/w-d-xo.html
@@Thereisnosp00000n man wow! That's a driver who knows his stuff! That looked really good. Thanks. Yes i agree the lift is awesome, and i want the skis to permit going up to and just over the balancepoint! Imagine sort of a little step under the door. Just like a wheeliebar that only just sticks out to catch you, once you've tipped over. Or in this case, maybe just at the balancepoint. Solid stainless steel ski mounted to serve as a bumper. I also have a thing for bashplates on enduro bikes. I love that sort of light armour suddenly enabling even more wild manouvers
@@Lifeisawheelie Ahh, I get the idea not preventing from doing tricks but rolling over completely. It's a good idea. Just extend the frame a little bit towards the sides and weld on a pair of skis. As far as I know this is a fairly new sport, been around only a couple of years. Who knows what developments occur in the future? Maybe it may be the new motorsport dedicated only to dwarves! :D
Original design: usually here in italy ape proto have several defferences. Usually the engine is centred and you have the exhaust near the seat. No differential and chain transmission with 2 semi axle. In this way the wheel base is a little longer and the weight better distributed, infact if you see an italian race they don't do wheelie. Don't know if a shorter wheelbase makes the ape andle better or not, i guess no becouse it is still pretty short also with a middle engine.
I have to agree totally with your observations on Guy's design choices. By not following what is a well proven design in Ape racing, it's a bit like trying to teach your grandmother how to suck eggs 😀.
Hi Guy Martin Proper, I love your videos but sadly I have seen the summary of the race etc on ``channel 4 sport`` already, which makes these short clips less interesting and I am sure you missing views in this way. Try to let them upload their video after you upload your short clips! You deserve the max amount of views! cheers
Wouldn't it be something if Guy proved all the Italians wrong? It wouldn't be the first time a Brit has made something better by breaking with convension..Colin Chapman, Frank Whittle, Brunell and many others.
Zoinks yeah. Instead of the mighty mid engine guy goes for the famed in racing circles VW beetle configuration. What the hell did Graham Chapman know about racing anyway eh?
I would loooooooove to see, what would happen, if you teamed up with Colin Furze......he is also a "mad scientist" with gasoline in his vains !!! 🇩🇰😎🤔💨.

Even the helmet visor was like 'hold on lad' 🤣 2:58
Anyone else see guy Martin as the modern day Fred dibnah?
Used to get the same joy watching Fred with my grandad as I do watching this with my kids.
I was grinning ear to ear watching guy open that up I can't imagine how he felt 😊
"Controversially he's added a 1000cc" should have said "as everyone would have expected him to he's fitted a 1000cc", to be fair I'm surprised he didn't put a 1200 in.
I'm kinda shocked he didn't try put his plane engine init !!!
Surprised he didnt put a h2 motor in it
If im truly honest, I expected the usual busa or zx10 engine.
That front tyre will never need replacing. It doesn't touch the ground for most of the time the little Ape is driving!
That roar gave me goosebumps :D
Hilarious and utterly brilliant.. surprised how well that thing went.. 👏
Wish i have the honor to meet this Legend one day !!
Legend.

Lol when even the doors didn’t want to be apart of that rocket ship you know that little buggy is rapid.
Me old Ford fiesta my dad bought for me used to do this... had to replace all the doors... then she got stolen and set alight rip Besty. Ran on fumes and loved tuff love.
That thing is absolutely nuts I love it 😍
Wow. That thing can move some and more!!! 😂🤣 That looked crazy but FUN. The competition won’t know what’s hit them!!! 😂🤣👍🏻🇬🇧
That'd make one of the coolest lawn mowers out there
This show looks like it'd be great to watch.
Nice driver fastening system on the factory test mule
Cracking job mate!!
😁😂🤣🙃
Grande Ape Piaggio! Bel lavoro, forse un pò troppo indietro il motore.
💪💪👍👍👍🇮🇹🖐️
Outstanding,. 👍👍👍👍
oh lovely job guy... you go show those italians up with this ripper.
bloody hell !!!!!!!!!!! absolutely mental
That looks fun and sounds amazing 👍👌
Oh yes need one of these great fun fanbloodytastic 👍👨🏻🏭
Quality tha done a propa job bud 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"Guy Martin's Girlfriend" - now that's a tough job description ! 😆
Chaos on 3 wheels haha, typical Guy
That machine is awesome
That’s quite the lawnmower
Fecking brilliant 😀😀😀
Been waiting for this one!
That looks so fun!!!
Can't see them CV joints lasting long at the extreme angles them driveshafts are at 2:30

Just a miniature sideskirt rail.
Could even serve as a ladder for dwarves to climb up into it more easily.

@@Lifeisawheelie this is a banger comment hahaha
That damn door! 😆
This is still bloody marvellous 🤩
C00L congratulations guys.
The billet gearbox ape? Crazy
I want one to ride through Rotterdam xD
Time to start saving xD
Legend 🇬🇧👍🏻

Dont forget he put a 1000cc engine, not 600cc so im not surprised its popping wheelies

I think it's to short and to narrow compared to the Italian ones
bloody hell that thing looked rapid haha
What a boi!! mint!
Guy, you need to call it the ApeX
C'mon Guy, why not the Triumph Rocket 3 donk In the Ape. Ha ha ha!
Anyone know what is gearbox and drive shafts you use on these type off buggys thanks
As i always said: "italians do it better!" :-) ...but we love you so much Guy!!
Where can I get the entire shows??? In USA!?
Was that your new motox track where you tested the ape???
A mean little unit
Looks a bit like a Gordon Murray T25 😊
Has colin furze called you yet!!
Fk lol OK, that's insane 😂👍
we dont have ape in usa.....i wonder if a liter bike would perform the same if rear is converted to 2 wheel
its a spicy meatball :)
I quite like 3 wheeled cars and bikes. But, stability has always been a concern for me.
Mid-rear is the only configuration worth doing.
Nice test... no seat beats on a race bike either...
Saw this one too .. ahahahahah
He needs to make the wheelbase wider, longer and chuck some good tires on there so he actually gets some grip
He might be restricted to his wheelbase width. Be interesting to see it on tarmac like you say with better tires. Probably need a wheelie bar. 😂🤦🏼♂️
So how much are they
George Formby joke there at the end.
Guy, i love you show and i love what youre doing but i cannot understand a word youre saying. somthing about mints and an apple cart?
LOVE
Put mud tyres on it and watch it grip like hell!
👍👍👍👍
I want one, just take my money why don't you !!!
Can you bring british subtitles?
😆 crazy
I would put a rotary in it
That real axle should be longer to avoid roll in tight turns no?
dont worry that you double cc, now turbocharge it !
Glad to see the British as mental, sorry eccentric, as ever...
to rear heavy imo... a bit more tracktion off grass and that thing is wheeling constantly...
Throttle steering
Death Trap!!!
appey?

Always spelling his name wrong... it`s spelt "" No Fear ""... lolol :):)
@Ted Socks but its not the norm, presumably because they couldnt make it work. If Guy can make it work.....
You can see the nose coming up in the video, good luck with steering.
Zoinks yeah. Instead of the mighty mid engine guy goes for the famed in racing circles VW beetle configuration. What the hell did Graham Chapman know about racing anyway eh?
Wickid
👊✌
barrow Mr Beans mini door latch
And its ULEZ compliant
Now make it road legal.......
I want one!!
Wired wheels
Apeshit Racing... fits.
I would loooooooove to see, what would happen, if you teamed up with Colin Furze......he is also a "mad scientist" with gasoline in his vains !!! 🇩🇰😎🤔💨.
#teamseas..............................................................................................................................
Spoiler alert: He races the italians and his axle breaks immediately and he gets stuck on corner mound. DNF
The position of the engine 🤔👎
Don’t try this sh!T at home........
these are all repeats post something new
how is this a repeat you melt
alternative lawnmower :D
