The race for the first pushrod Top Fuel Nitro Harley V-Twin run is on and one team leading nitro drag bike racing is the unique parallel twin combination know as the “Beast” all the way from Sweden. During the Man Cup Finals at NHRA’s South Georgia Motorsports Park we caught up with team “Beast” to give us a tour of the supercharged, innovative motorcycle and engine, followed by some Super Twin / Top Fuel Harley drag racing. Watch the Beast click off a career best 6.18, inching closer to the elusive five-second zone and a pushrod, twin Top Fuel Motorcycle drag racing world record. Come with us as we meet the team, Per Bengtsson, former Ray Price Nitro Harley racer Tommy Grimes his fiancé Rachel Pridemore and more. Enjoy and share this close look at a truly one of a kind motorcycle. All congrats goes to Jaska Salakari and teammate for running a five second V-twin pass with his unique over head cam machine. The race to do it with pushrods is still on.

Fell in love with this bike way back at Tierp. No bike shakes the stands and even the ground like this one.

Love that machine. Per Bengtsson is a genius. In Europe, the Bentec transmissions are legends for being indestructible. Meanwhile, 3 riders over here in the 5 sec. zone on twins; all 3 from Finland on Finnish Salakari bikes!

Very innovative bike and engine design in particular. Really a nicely built race bike. And this is from an old turbo racer from the early 80's. My older brother loves his 56' Harley chopper that he's owned for about 50 years, and he'll love this video, I'm sure. Just sent it to him. Thanks Jack.

Wild-sounding machine. Cool how the cylinder orientation, crank profile, and firing order can result in such different tones from engines even with the same number of cylinders and displacement. While I love the sound of a single-pin-crank V-twin, there is no denying "The Beast" makes beautiful noise when at full send...

I also captured a lot of great launch videos of the beast in south Georgia. It is like no other bike! Jack your videos are always great, although KZfaq is almost unwatchable now that there are commercials at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of 10 minute videos. There are actually less commercials on TV.

That's a lot of metal slamming up and down in there! From the even pulses, it sounds like a 360* crank which is typical for large parallel twins. The 180* units tend to twist their cranks and rock a bit when things get big and heavy. Not sure how a 270* crank would fair at those levels, they are common on newer big twins, but this doesn't have that distinct sound so Im guessing its 360*.

Wow, a bike that's not a V-twin. Oh, wait a minute, bikes that are not V-twins have existed outside the USA for many decades. Those H-Ds are not H-Ds at all, they are just an engine that happens to be based on that ancient design that came about purely because H-D wanted to make a twin, thought a V would be nice, and could only fit one of 45° in the frame. Ducati on the other hand, wanted 90° and didn't care that their front cylinder stuck out through the front of the frame when they went from singles to twins. Across the pond, Triumph, Norton, and BSA were making parallel twins and this bike is based on those designs as much as the H-D drag bikes are based on H-Ds. We don't know what the crank angle on this bike is and on an engine that runs for just a few seconds, it may not be that important. As for its cylinder layout, it could just as easily be an opposed twin like a BMW but what's important is American's reaction to something that's not American. "Is that even possible?". "How long has this been going on for ?" Priceless.

@jamesbitetto6040 4 жыл бұрын

Just a little secret for this bike from one who builds Supercharged Harleys, the Beast needs more air in his throttle bodies. There is a formulary that I just wouldn't like to reveal at this time. I was 220 lbs on my V Rod Muscle Supercharged and Suzuki Busters couldn't touch me. I have redesigned my system and now looking to go against the Supercharged Kawasaki! Ok. I also lost 30 pounds because the V Rod is heavy so, I have every intention of putting it on a diet. I think Beast is awesome and super quick at 100 inches. I am also 70 years old!

Good question! My answer would definitely be 360! They may have a different set up but if you look at past successful in lines, like in F 1 racing and especially BMW, made big time Horsepower for relatively small displacement engines before they changed over to v 6 and I think this is why the Best sounds different over the vertical twin. Just my guess?
