Race-tech TURBO DIESEL motorcycle?! NO VIBRATIONS!

This is a nice video, but one correction: Royal Enfield definitely did mass produce a diesel motorcycle. It was called the Taurus and it was produced from the 1980s until 2000. Unlike the bike in this video, it was by no means a performance machine, but it did get approximately 200 mpg.

The contra-rotating twin crank design goes back to Frederick Lanchesters original design in 1895! He was without doubt one of the world's true innovative engineers when it came to engine design. Balancer shafts today are still using his designs from over 100 years ago!
It's a shame the video did not credit him for this twin crank invention.
Queen Elizebeth's very first public appearance as a child was in a Lanchester car.

I would buy one in a heartbeat “ if I could afford it “. Incredible bike!👍😊🇨🇦

I think it's beautiful. Big, Bad, and Buff! It's a beasty. It;s a shame that the audio was so short, I'd love to hear it at full song. Imagine a 2 stroke diesel V-8 in a bike?

As someone interested in theoretical engine layouts like inline 7 engines, this twin crank design is extremely intriguing. It would eliminate the serious balance concerns and make it possible to build an engine with an exhaust that sounds like a musical note.

Brilliant! Minimal friction due to equal balance and piston central walls

I'm a diesel mechanic. Do you realize how bad you would smell after driving a diesel motorcycle.How much more toxic breathing diesel fumes are. Great, cool they did it but that's where it ends.

Is there any video for the valve train, the camshafts and the cylinder head assembly.

Great topic! I still love 2 strokes.

85,000 is just out of the question.
Nice idea and may serve a good purpose, but for anyone to make money and sell these in the masses, they've got to have their production/sales cost cheaper

👍 Thanks!

I WANT ONE !!! great video Dude 😉😎

That is an amazing bit of kit. I never even knew they existed! It's a pity they were never able to mass produce them. Their overall shape and appearance reminded me of crazy Boss Hoss V8's 😳🤯.
That was a really good watch 😉👍🏻.
However, your engine specification and output data, at around 2m 40secs, was fired out at such a rapid pace that I had to listen to it 3 times before I understood it all. Just slow it down a bit, my friend 😉👍🏻. We're not going anywhere.
And, as a new subscriber, I'm looking forward to seeing what other weird and wonderful bits of bike insanity are out there.
Do you look at just new bike design manufacturers and innovators, or do you also look at guys in their sheds who are creating weird and wonderful 'one off' works of art?
Ever heard of a guy called Allen Millyard? 🤯🤯🤯. The guy is a bona-fide genius.

promising design. very clever.

Nice

Tested on my hometown racing circuit, Grobnik Automotodrom <3 Unfortunately I didn't know it was happening :/

It lacked a supercharger and it would have been awesome. Maybe even tinier and lighter. Love these weird bikes

Dude that was an impressive numbers rapp .You were spiting some facts awesome.

DOUBLE FORK IS FOR STYLE ON THAT BIKE ON THE NIKEN IT IS BECAUSE THERE ARE 2 WHEELS ON THE FRONT AND A VERY COMPLICATED SUSPENSION IS NEEDED FOR IT TO BE ABLE TO LEAN

Congrats on your 1k subscribers buddy
