- Today we have a short video about probably the strangest motorcycle. The NSU Bison 2000, built by Fritz Langer, holds the record for the world's largest single-cylinder engine motorcycle.
#motorcycle #engineering #homemade
Sounds like anything above 300 rpm would vibrate the bike to pieces.
my lord but RPM does not seem to have been a design consideration! seems like such a waste imo. i'd love to see a huge single cylinder, but with a balance shaft or a dummy cylinder like ducati's supermono so it can rev properly
@@5naxalotli can only imagine, then it might be capable of like what, maybe 1000 rpm? Its like the opposite of Vincent Foucart’s Peugeot 205.
Why do u want rpm
When you already have torque?
Imagine trying to kick it!
Next, he could just sit directly on the piston 😂
That kick starter has the potential to be a leg breaker.
For sure. I was scared of kick-starting my big brother's Norton International, and that was only 500cc.
@@gibbogle I'll never forget my uncle calling us over to his house so he could proceed to brag about his 74 inch Harley-Davidson police bike that he bought at a police auction and it punted his ass over the fork when he didn't set that pedal right and it kicked back 🤣 He didn't keep it very long.
yup, here in my country we have some old 350cc also called "leg breaker". Imagine that one
Same with Yamaha, SR 500@@gibbogle
When bombadier/ Can am were developing the ds650 they were originally designing it with a kick starter but had issues with the automatic decompression and supposedly some legs were broken and then designed it be electric starter only on it
I love the way he lowers himself over the handlebars to make it more aerodynamic, at eight miles an hour.
🤣 yooo, right??
When he tucked in I started dying laughing! I couldn't hear what he was shouting at the fella in the sidecar, but it sounded like "SIX POINT FOUR MILES PER HOUR!!" 😅😂
Not even fast enough to mess your hair up! 😂
That got me too. Leaning over to embrace butt kicking acceleration for then nothing to happen. Fascinating project through.
Sounds like an old John Deere tractor, can you plow with it ?
Honestly I sometimes think of my single cylinder 125 as a tractor lol
You just described every HD big twin ever made.
fowler marshal
Only in idle...
It has the same sound as a huge Briggs & Stratton
These bikes are actually not motorcycles, as much as machines for breaking right legs, and causing concussions, when starting one without a helmet. What a challenge.
I think it must've only been push-started like in the video. It was a novelty, not a legitimate bike. That said, a LOT of people (myself included) have been terrified and/or injured by 500cc 2-stroke singles. I was lucky, being flung onto my face was the worst I got, haha!
I had a Yamaha DT 400 which had a decompressor operated by the kickstart. I would expect the same on a 2l motorcycle engine.
That is why you have compression release devices on such machines.
@@patrickbodine1300 Well sure, but if a 500 will break your ankle, surely even a compression-released 2,000 would be as bad or worse, right? I genuinely don't know, I've only ridden 250 or smaller 2-strokes and 4-strokes with electric start.
You can literally count the revs when it goes slowly down the road.
It's not the rpm but the resonances in the exhaust pipe.
360rpm is already 6rpsec or 3 explosions per second (4 stroke cycle).
every ignition 1m drive...so you can count how far you drove it...just count all bangs
If he gets tired of riding it, he can use it as a shaker to mix paint. Got to vibrate like crazy.
Allen Millyard be like "hold my tea and cupcake"
Allen Millyard is mind blowingly clever. And the 'Tea and Cupcake' reference is spot on.
I clicked on this to see the Allen Millyard comment.
Not disappointed
Some of y'all gotta realise not everything is built for performance. Some people like silly absurd things, and that's ok. I'm with them.
Alan Millyard has a 5000cc V twin from two barrels and pistons from an aireplane engine
Yes, but Alan's bike has 2 cylindres
@@vogelfreund2615and what’s 5000/2?
@@FlatBroke612 bigger yes👍. But its different classes
The potato video quality makes me think this bike has been around for quite a while now. It could well pre-date the Flying Millyard.
Its from Juni 2000 @@rockets4kids
Gotta admire his dedication to worthlessness. It's not even a solution to a non-existent problem
( Series 80 1911 ) At least it does prove one theory. You can't polish a turd.....well done sir !
I have seen both bike's (1000 and 2000cc) in Technik museum Sinsheim Germany.
The back kick from the kicker is going to be leg breaker. Hope it has a starter motor.
YEP, IT HAS STARTER MOTORS, YOU AND THREE FRIENDS. WATCH YOUR TOES!
Didnt you see them push start it?
Had a BSA 441 Victor Shooting Star single that could break your leg if started incorrectly. Pass on this single
I had a Victor 500 that I somehow let kickback on me in the early '80's. My foot still hurts sometimes.
I had the B44VS with a high comp piston. It nearly threw my mate over the bars. 😀
Whereas, I always made sure it was safely past TDC before kicking. (Electronic ignition helped)
Didn't those old Beezers have ignition advance and retard for starting? I seem to remember a mate who had a B31 which had a lever on the bars for advance/retard? If you didn't retard it before kicking it over, you risked breaking your ankle.
Maybe it was an option or only fitted to pre-unit engines, but the Victor 441 and the Starfire 250 would certainly have benefitted from it.
@@125brat Well, you are exactly on the right track but just a tiny bit off. My Victor 500 (B50T) has a little trigger on the handle bar that pulls a cable going to the cylinder head. The lever on the head the cable is hooked to lifts the exhaust valve a bit. Then, you bring it up to approach Top Dead Center with the Kickstarter and pull that decompressor to get right at TDC. Then you jump as high as you can and about half way down kick the living stuff out of it. I only had mine hurt me once but I never forgot it.
@@125brat
I think you’re right - That was only on the pre-unit engines. And yes, it would have been very useful on the larger cc or higher compression engines.
I fitted electronic ignition which must have helped. It certainly gave reliable starting and smooth acceleration. 🏍💨
Nah... Lanz Bulldog has about 10.000 cc Displacement in a single cylinder
And that's why no one builds a 2000cc single. Next topic....
You probably meant the biggest motorcycle single cylinder engine in the world, because as far as I know, one of the biggest must be the Lanz Bulldog with a 10.6 L single cylinder two-stroke diesel
This design is highly practical as it avoids unnecessary clutter, weight and complexity, such as instrumentation. Forget the old-school tachometer. You can just count the revs out loud as you ride.
Meanwhile, im too afraid to modify my opel 1.2 OHV engine, because "I CaN'T rEv HiGH wItH A PUsh rOd EnGiNe "
All I have to say is, there is no replacement for displacement. Wow what a work of engineering.
Biggest single cylinder motorbike perhaps, but not the biggest single cylinder engine in the world by a long stretch.
The Otto is a very impressive single-cylinder, stationary, natural gas engine and is the largest remaining single-cylinder engine we know of in the world. It weighs about 25 tons and the Deane pump weighs 20 tons. The engine has a 21 inch bore and a 30 inch stroke, which yields a displacement of 10,391 cubic inches, or approximately 170 liters. Its nameplate rating is 175 hp at 180 RPM. When operating at these conditions the engine produces over 5100 ft lbf of torque.
There’s motorcycle on the preview…
I remember when I was learning how to kick start my TT600. Except mine was much faster... lol
Would SURE like to see a vidio of the building of the engine AND transmission AND him KICK STARTING THAT MONSTER ( if available!!)!!!
Someone in Australia built a 5000cc vtwin bike using a merlin
The vibration must be horrendous, the power delivery must be terribly lumpy, forget about revving to the moon like a typical motorbike engine.
A kickstarter on a 2000cc engine sounds like it would enjoy sending your foot through the top of your head!
A dream bike for me, i can imagine chewing miles, 70mph at a time @500rpm. Just a chilling experience. The Mono has a magic to it that makes it feel more mechanical and archaic, comparing it to a sophisticated twin or more with less vibrations. IDK I'll try it.
The Lanz Bulldog of motorcycles...
We're very familiar with this sound. All the farm land water pump, boat engines, and farmland tractor engines make this noise.
Imagine throwing a rod that large- be like a cannon ball! Thing sounds ridiculous, more like a snare drum than an engine!
Nice bike. Allan Millard used 2 aircraft cylinders to make the 5 litre V twin Flying Millard. This is good, but I prefer Mr Millard.
Definitely a briggs😂
YesS!,, unfortunately :--/
Bet the neighbors loved it.
Vibration❌ earthquake✅
It sounds like hit and miss engine on idle, nothing special about the sound. But impressive take on 2000cc with single cylinder. You could count the explosions and feel them 😂
Thanks for posting these videos. Were you at the Sinsheim/Speyer museums in Germany lately? A lot of the bikes are displayed there.
It sounds like a something a clown would ride in a circus.
That's as subtle as lighting your hair on fire.
She goes 8mph, red lines at 500rpm, but she could tow the fucking moon out of orbit
2:16.......I recall shallow oil wells in Ohio, powered with a huge single cylinder engine, built in the early 20th century, that sounded like that.
There was an early car with a 2500 cc single cylinder engine. It was not overly successful!
LOLOLOL biggest single cylinder engine in the world? A cursory Google search comes up with 175 litres.
He's tucking in to stream line position when the thing is going like 10-15mph, lol.
2:28 My man is full tuck when going at a jogging pace...
It's sound reminds me of a poorly tuned Briggs and Stratton lawn mower engine. 3 1/2 h.p.
Sounds like a John Deere 2 cylinder.
That is what you call an Uber Thumper!
When I was young, and that was a long time ago, I owned a Matchless 600cc single, called a Matchless Typhoon. Once while starting it, I left the timing to far advanced, and it fired early throwing me completely off the motorcycle. Fortunately, I had it on the center stand. I can imagine the damage this thing could do to a person trying to kick-start it.
This bike cannot race anything up a hill but it could probably carry them up the hill.
2:23 they are 10mph, when get aerodynamic, topspeed in 12mph
Sounds like a lawnmower. It's going to overheat doing 8 mph.
Sounds like it barely runs. No good!
So let me get this straight. A guy takes a paint shaker and welds it to a bike frame....
Rumour has it, he's working on a muffler.
Sir, you “heard that wrong”. He is working on a HEARING AID. Huh? You hear some people say that you get used to noise after a while.
Sounds like a sick lawn mower.
All hunched over riding like they are doing 150mph, and the bike goes by at like 10mph
Compare that to the Rotax 650 cc injection engine, in my BMW F650CS. Why don't these men build a 1300 cc engine, combining TWO of those 650 cc machines? You'd be surprised.
1:55 - Kinda sounds like my uncle's 1919 Rumley steel wheel tractor.
This could pop a wheely and overturn the bike with one powerstroke.
Sounds like an old water pump.
I made that exact sound when I was 3 years old with a soup ladle and a pot. Didnt have time to build a motorcycle.
Reminds me of what they used to say about the Panther - one bang every lamp post
Awesome! But to be specific, there have been many single cylinder engines much larger than this, but usually they where stationary engines
Töff, Töff, Sounds like a Lanz Bulldog
A Masochism Machine.
I like how there's a kick starter
Like a giant Briggs and Stratton.
Sounds a bit like a Predator 212 from Harbor Freight!
And it's got a kick start !!! That wouldn't put you over the handlebars or nothing!
It's a dog,big dog. If it was balanced and two stroke it would be really scary. Seems like 3 cylinder two stroke is the way to go.
I know about the hipo four strokers,but imagine 2L of 3cyl two stroke, the best Widowmaker ever.
There's a warning lamp on the headlight to tell you when the piston is going down so you can let the clutch out🤣🤣
what about the lanz bulldog, it has a single horizontal cilinder spanning from 5,7 up to 12,5 liters
Fascinating water pump sound. 😎
Me: "Oh it has a sidecar! I wonder why?"
Also me: "I see! It needs two people to push start it."
2:15 Jesus, you can count the strokes in real time. 😄
For sale:- 1 kickstarter, very good condition, only used once.
Just the thought of kickstarting that thing makes my knee hurt. When I worked as dealer service technician I used to have the shop helpers kick start thumpers over 400cc because I was mean. One day a DR650R with leaking float backfired and sent that +/-150lbs shop helper for field goal. He landed on his back about 10 feet away and was slightly upset with me when he got up, but today he will tell you it was on the job training.
Me parece fabulosa y un despropósito a la vez , 2mil cc en un solo cilindro? Creo que no puede desarrollar ni 2000rpm a fondo y creo que volaria en mil pedazos, pero igualmente me gusta mucho es un aparato diabólico y debe ser muy dificil de conducir, pero... Igualmente me encanta 😊
3" straight pipe 😅 THUMPER, hilarious
Norton Manx is the best sounding single cylinder,this bike sounds not crap,but not good either.
i knew of a 5 litre twin motorcycle a guy in Australia or New Zealand chopped two cylinders off an aircraft engine back in the 80's
"holds the record for the biggest single cylinder in the world"
yeah, thats a big no there buddy, the lanz bulldog tractor has 10 liter single cylinder in it
nice try tho
harley owner sweatin hard right now.
I'm betting Alan Milyard tops that within a year. And will make it look good. That thing is hideous.
Did he say it sounds mind blowing? Sounded more like an old lawnmower.
I think this is cool as hell.I wonder what radial engine the cylinder came from.I always wanted a single cylinder motorcycle.
A proper motorcycle factory could make 2000cc single a very functioning bike with counter balancer, proper stroke x bore and compression ratio etc.
Sounds and acts like a Lanz Bulldog on 2 wheels... and looks about as fast...
The narration and closed captions and computer voice.Just terrible.
You have the feeling that you can count each rotation. 😅 Amazing
while a harley can make a woman climax, this machine will break her hip.
a mobility scooter goes faster than that ...
That's just over kill for a motorcycle.
Full throttle sounds like a literal machine gun😂
There is a 5 litre single cylinder bike in Australia.
Interesting, and fun, but the standard of design and engineering is crude compared to the beautiful, mad concoctions created by Allen Millyard.
Wonder how many hp that thing has, seemed slower than a 50cc minibike 😂
That abbreviation didn't age well......
Wrong.
Allen Millyard built the 5&1/2 liters single.
