One of Allen Millyard's several brothers-from-other-mothers. Pete Aardema is one. Le Dan in Vietnam is another. So is the Czech guy who built the Bistella.
Yeah they certainly r great vision and all that re the engines but how he packages them is hmm rather subjective one would have to say not apatch on millyards efforts in yThat regards buthats off to the man
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.
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 master craftsman with a serious need for speed! Best kind of crazy!
A motorcycle engineering genius no doubt , but the motorcycles themselves are CRAZY Frankenstein !

Wow , what an amazing guy , much respect for him .
Your video has filled an inexplicable void in my motorcycle knowledge, thank you. The engine to frame ratio in that last shot is incredible!
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!

For many he is the first Rider to ridewith his knee down.
Andreas, you have my respect for being barmy & building outstanding Bikes 👍
Q:At what RPM would you want your bike to idle?
A. YES
The BRM H-16 was in first place used by the BRM team themselves, Team Lotus used it too but in a lesser extent.
180 hp in 1978? Freakin amazing.
@4:50 Can you imagine riding this bike on a damp day with your knee close to that distributor....
H 16 pre dates that lotus the earliest one i know of is the ww2 aero engine called the Napier sabre.
Imagine if he and Alan Millyard put there heads together
No computers???! UNREAL!
Thanks for your video i usad to ride a Velocite Venom in the 60.s he is an amazing man
He is really far out!
That is a Boxer Engine, not a H
It is in fact an H.
??? WHY NOT JUST BUILT A 2 STROKE 1000cc bike. It can make close to 400HP...
I don’t think 2 strokes can be made that big

Because that's boring.
@@Jeweltocool What ?? LMAO......
Cool engineering, but what's the point?
The passion for the challenge, it gives pleasure to some precious people.
Laughable... It says he had a MotoGP career.... MotoGP started in 2002 so that's Impossible...
😂
The 1st bike is clever with lots of innovation - the rest are over-engineered JUNK !
