This TH-cam channel is soooo underrated for the amount of true value content it has damn!! I feel so glad that it showed up in my recommendations today and I did SUBSCRIBE the channel
This is absolutely fabulous. I have been riding a Kawasaki 900 since my first.ride on back of a Z1 900 in 1974 at the age of 11 and have owned to many to count this is great thank you.👍👍👍
This may be the most wholesome TH-cam channel in existence. Allen's demeanor is so calm and positive, a total contrast to most other bike channels who have nothing to compare to his creations.
I've been binge watching and I have no idea how you can be so soft spoken WHILE BEING AN ABSOLUTE MADMAN !!!!! With every video comes a new surprise. The lack of a huge work area and only a few more tools than a bicycle mechanic needs speaks to me . I sadly need many tools and and an acre of land to change my oil on my motorcycle. I've assembled a few China doll engines on bicycles and it is very much fun for an old guy who has built houses all of his life . My mechanical skills don't add up to the grease under your pinky finger . THIS IS SUCH A PLEASURE TO SEE !!!!! Leonardo DaVinci would be fascinated

These were craft and academic apprenticeships lasting about 5 years, with lots of hand tools and machine work. Technically these are technician apprenticeships rather than being an engineer, who usually have a degree. I guess engineer is broad and loosely used term.

I almost fell out of my chair when I saw you drive past the Bear Hotel. That's where I stay when I visit England (from California), and will be staying again this September for a few days. Hungerford is a nice town. Thanks for the fun videos Allen. Great work...
I can't wait for Matt at The Workshops who claims Alan Millyard is nothing special but pretty ordinary and has accepted a challenge from one of his commenters to do better.
@@nightster6378 has Mat ever finished one project? What happened to the RG500 engine? And dozens of other things he started but never ever finishes? Stopped watching Matt as he is a waste of space. Allan's the real deal.
Love your work Allen I’ve often thought ‘this bike needs something ‘ two extra cylinders has never entered my head though. So nice to see a real build no fake deadlines or drama just a tradesman going about business thoughtfully and efficiently. Legend
Words fail were Alan is concerned. I’ve watched his podcasts for a long time and been thoroughly entertained every time. He’s a very unassuming and intelligent engineer with skills that us meer mortals can only dream of. Fabulous 👍🏻👌
Only man to ride a newly built bike then start stripping it again. Perfectionist. Absolute gem of a build. Sounds like a real bike not the muffled type of these days
I've known many people have a mortal dread of Japanese bike carbs, but I think they're a work of art. Mikunis and Keihins always remind me that a carburettor is an 'instrument', not merely a lump of metal that chucks petrol down the intake.
Allen, you remind me of 1970 and me on my AJS 500, when I was of the mind to fix anything that went wrong with my bike. No such thing as ‘can’t be done’. I’m pushing 67 now and still prepared to get my hands dirty on my Triumph 765 triple. Thanks for taking the time and effort to make such great videos!
I’m 65. Just spent about 4 months rebuilding a Fiat Panda 1.3 16 valve diesel. I took the engine out and stripped it right down. It’s now on the road and lovely to drive. I’m looking at doing another one.
Can you imagine Allen chatting to his insurance broker when his motorcycle insurance is up for renewal? Broker: "Any modifications sir?" Allen: "Erm..."
Wow, Allen Millyard is a real Petrolhead and an Kawasaki Enthusiast. I love this channel for seeing the old Motorbikes from the 70´s and 80´s. That where real Dreambikes for me when i was around 16 and 18 years old. I loved the Kawasaki Z900 and Z650 and the Z1300!!!!
This gentleman is a bloody genius! Many years ago, I owned a Z1 and it was an amazingly smooth and very powerful motorcycle. I greatly enjoyed the video!
Mr. Millyard, I just learned more about proper carb cleaning than I have in 30+ years of working on motorcycles (and some of that as a professional mechanic). Thanks! My son will like having his CRF80 finally run clean at part throttle. Maybe someday he'll take my hacksaw and make it a 160cc twin! Your work is AMAZING!! And just perfect. 😁
You deserve every accolade bestowed upon you, Allen. Thanks for the Swiss Army Knife, Charley Weaver and Traceys cupcakes. Greta on the old Ericsson phone and use of the barbecue will have to wait! Thanks for your videos, I look forward to each and every one. Perhaps think about a patreon account? Thanks again
I'm a retired carpenter that finally has time to tinker with bikes thanks Allen I'm learning new skills thanks to you ,I'm so appreciative of your help cheers from Australia
This was like a book you can’t put down! I looked at all the bits with fear knowing I’d not get off step 1. Brilliant detail and skill as always Allen!
My has restored a 1980 Honda Cb900c, 10 speed , rubber mounted engine, trans, shaft drive, one of the smoothest riding motorcycles I’ve ever ridden. He put headed ect and seems to preform excellent. I wish he could learn to build engines like you ! I’m Blessed, I taught all my children to ride . All grown up we all ride together. That Kawasaki 900 has always been one of my favorite motorcycles of all times . The Honda reminds me of it . I’ve owned several over the years . You built the most beautiful one I’ve ever seen ! I love the color ect . I bet it will get the ice cream home before bit melts !
Just utterly stunning - the world is a better place for Mr Millyard being in it! The attention to detail is just on another level; never stop! But if you fancy it, I've always dreamed of an RGV500 with two Siamesed RGV250 cylinder heads grafted on... I'd love to see if you could build one of those!
And it fired up for the very first time like he had just been riding it 5 minutes ago! He's not a mechanic, he is a genius. And the most modest man, I wish he lived in my area. I would feel proud and lucky to be permitted to buy a motorcycle he has designed and built. Come to the U. S. Allen! We need you!!
Wow! I enjoyed that so much. The camera work is exceptional, there's a hell of a lot of work in getting so many angles and close-up shots, but it makes the video so good to watch. I also have a huge soft spot for this era of Kawasakis, and your creations are amazing.
Allen, you never cease to amaze me. I've watched your 4-to-6 engine conversions over and over again. Brilliant! I especially like your cupcake capers, though. Lots of fun.
The throttle, barely being twisted and you can just hear the unchecked power! This is so exciting to see and listen to. Smooth and balanced running like an angel with a beast inside lurking, waiting. Super job Mr. M.
I just watched the entire series about building your Honda six replica and the knowledge and skills you possess never cease to amaze me and I love to see you putting it towards something you really enjoy CHEERS BROTHER!
Neighbour #1: "Listen! There's that beautiful music again!" Neighbour #2: "Oh, that's Allen... he's just fired up his new super six." Neighbour #1, voice just above a whisper: "And it sounds just PERFECT."
I can't decide whether I like the blue one or the red one better. You've certainly conquered more difficult engineering challenges than these, but these are the most beautiful to me, which is quite a feat because all of your creations are amazingly engineered and beautiful. Your video production is great as well. Thank you for sharing your efforts.
Now THAT was just marvellous - a big step up in photography and editing - a new style that works well! It's also pleasant to discover some of the same tricks I use doing bike carbs :)
Don’t know about educated, entertained yes. If I had 2% of his knowledge and skill I would be a genius. These machines are part of my youth I’m mid-sixties now and these videos are rose gold to me. Thankyou for doing them x God Bless
Sorry, another boring comment: Allen, you do lovely, lovely work! The video is fine, the sound of that 6-cylinder burbling along is a delight to a motorcyclist's ears... thanks for bring these projects to life, and to us to enjoy...
Tracy leaves 4 cupcakes on the plate. Goes in to check on something in the Kitchen. Returns to find 6 cupcakes all synchronize an the plate, this after Allen had taken and eaten one. The Kwaka 6 sound like pure music.
Hi Allen, what a fantastic colour and the paint quality looks superb. Great video, the 2 6 cylinder bikes side by side is the sort of image you never forget. Sounded sweet especially on the 2nd run out, these Kawasaki 6's (and everything else you've built) are just something else, top, top garage/shed engineering. Brilliant, British and makes me smile every time, cheers, Alex.
Love the sound and the detail is perfect,your design ability is extra ordinary,right now i am restoring a 1975 Can-Am TNT 175,after seeing your work I'm going to work extra on this one,I'll send some before and after photos,thanks Allen,To me your the king.
Could watch your vids all day Allen, amazing mate, no other being on the planet could match your skills with the tools you use. The kwak 6’s are the two most beautiful bikes on earth. You sir are a true genius!!!
Sounded like a WWII fighter plane when you first started her up. Gave me goose bumps. Thank you for showing the rest of us what a person can be capable of. You should have your own show on the Discovery Channel. Damn sight more inspirational than those jokers on "American Chopper." As always "We are not worthy"
Must be a good feeling and a proud moment to bring a one off engine you've created and built, to life, hearing it purr and run for the first time! Great work as usual.😎👍 Still makes me miss my 1981 Honda CBX1000 6 cylinder beast, the grin from ear to ear when riding that was fantastic!
The first time I heard a CBS coming up my street I thought it was 2 of my mates but it was only 1 of them, my mate Colin on his silver 81 CBS I was 19 and thought I'd seen the future Haha!😎💕🖖
@@kevinscollan8293 Yeah got it! They do have a very distinctive sound track and a very addictive need to be knocked down a cog and opened up going through a tunnel The thing that most surprised me about them was the grin factor as that engine pulls from so low down right through the rev range. Most 4 cylinder bikes of that era had a powerband where the engine came on cam and felt like a turbo kicked in, the CBX just made power right through the rev range, the low down torque was incredible! The first time I ever got up close to one was when I rode a 1981 suzuki er50, I was 16 my mate pulls up on his brand new bike, I asked the dumbest question, 'what's that a 500?', he grinned at me and said 'no, double that and add a bit more!' 😲⚠️😳 It was a brand new CBX1000...... I guess the seed was planted back then, fast forward a good few years and I ended up buying one, a 1981 model.....worst thing I ever did was sell it! ⚠️😲😥
When I was in my 20's (40 years ago), if I met an "old" hot rodder I'd get him to tell me some stories. I learned a lot that way. Watching Allen's videos I get the same kind of education.
Brill, I had a z1b and z1 in the mid 70's early 80's best bikes i ever had, scared me the first time i rode the z1b , jumped up from a 400 kawasaki to the 900cc lol great memories my wife just said she remembers that sound on start up, thanks, awesome bikes you have.
Always feel perfection in your work,there is a charm in these old motorcycles but the way you build is more charming.great work , looking forward to your next project.
Thanks Allen, you’re an absolute magician of a mechanic, love the style of your videos. My favourite moment surprisingly, pigeons crashing into the bird table. Love it, thanks for the content!
Allen could tell you you had cancer with a week to live with his demeanor and you would be 👌 and fully accepting. What a gem keep expanding your content thank you Allen.
I’ve built some bikes in my 30+ years of riding/racing but never have I dissected an engine as thoroughly as this. This engineering is better than factory! Just purfect!
So details cleaning & service carburetors technic. Your technical to operate is available to use with other product carburetors in the world. Something new information I get from your video.. I will wait another part next.. great hand skill... I hope your health is great to share your experiences. I am from Malaysia. Nice to meet you ✌️👍
