It only got worse from there, like the RE single cylinder twin can be showed for the twin cylinder sound because it has two exhausts

Does he cover diesel and rotary?

He said primarily so basically the v twin is two single cylinders.

Did you just assume that Bike's identity? What if it doesn't identifies as a Harley?

The sound of the h2 with turned off super charger was epic

3:50 180degrees between cilinders in not V engine, but an Opposite one

Correct. Family man.

Single cylinders are only good at 450. Maybe 250.

And Norton too. And no mention of twingles, one cylindered engines with 2 pistons…

You forget the RE-5

Rotary engines don't have cylinders.

Suzuki Re5 not 8

with outrages redlines of over 20,000 rpm

square 4? boxer twin?

And talk about the Yamaha CP4 engine, which I have in my MT10.

Yes I did, I thought it should be mentioned as a separate video

Never too late to come back. :)

As far as jokes go, this one belongs in the really, really nasty category!😂😂😂

Talk about being ungrateful for your blessings

CZs are legendary. Mythical. They practically owned the early 70s.

Boxers give superb low down torque and excellent fuel consumption. One issue is they can be a bugger to start when very cold, as it takes a lot of 'juice' to crank them.

the zx25r is best sounding bike ever

​@@IntoTheDepths444no

MT09 is flat plane so sounds poor considered to a 120 degree triple, a slightly sad fact as ive got 2 MT09s and miss the sound of my street triple on Zards.

​@@theravedaddytriumph does a T plane on their triple

bsme: harley shovelhead idling; almost any 6 revving; big bore or two-stroke multis revving.

They’re both called parallel twins they just have a different crankshaft design

I've only ever heard of the boxer in any motorcycle applications, or really any other than airplanes. Do you know of any motorcycles using the flat twin?

What would be the point of such a configuration? It would be horribly unbalanced. I doubt that such a configuration would be used anywhere.

same thing, boxer and flat twin. They have to move in opposite directions (same point in the combustion cycle).

I own a 1973 BMW R75/5 that's a 745cc flat twin. The engine's pistons move in and out at the same time to balance their rotation. The faster one goes, the smoother the engine becomes. The VW Bug uses a 4 cylinder boxer engine where the two cylinders on each side have a piston at TDC and the other piston at the bottom of the stroke so resembles a boxer punching with a right then a left. Grew up with a neighbor that fell in love with BMW motorcycles and VW's while serving as a tank mechanic with the 3RD Army during WW2. They would find them intact and out of gas so painted them green, added a white star then put them to use. He said they ran exceptionally well and were simple to maintain. They tore down a VW Kubelwagen engine and were shocked to find that the crankshaft had no counterweights and just was a forged bar.

@@rogercohn I hope you're kidding. A boxer CAN have two cylinders firing at the same time. A flat twin? It's a physical impossibility.

So true.!! Don’t forget the triple three Mach 500cc Kawasaki two stroke. The widow maker. This bike, and the CBX 1100, 6 cylinder Honda were my favourites in the late 70s, and still are.!! I had the Kawa 500. Always wanted the 1100 CBX, but never drove one.

Thank you very much!

In general, a parallel twin is a 360 degree twin (he missed in the video) where one cylinder is on the compression cycle while the other is on exhaust. In contrast, the 90/270 is what's commonly referred to as an in-line twin, with the compression cycle of one cylinder being either the power or intake cycle of the other.

And the RG500 square four.

Rotary engines don't have cylinders.

@@musicauthority5635 It doesn't say anywhere in this very post that rotary engines have cylinders.

NSU made a 250 single that used a second cylinder to push the air/fuel mixture into it. Think they called it a 250 compressor engine.

Thanks ✌️

They do, as long as you don't take heat into account lol. I was also not impressed

I had a motorcycle that had to have its throttle blipped when stopped to keep it from stalling. I was self-conscious about it, but had to do it.

Thanks a ton

Enfield, ... no show and no go!

hmm

Or even drum roll enter stage left ...The Megola must be on the "cat dad" step with the parallel twins behind the Bmw "INLINE" bricks unlike all the Universal TRANSVERSE Japanese Motorcycles ...make one think the "cat dad" voice over dude not a "tire" with a Y dude who thinks across the frame is inline ....Bless

Don't forget Suzuki's Square four and stepped square four two strokes or Honda's 2 different types of V3 two stroke for the road and Grand Prix racing. Also in the Sammy Millar Museum in England, there is a 3 cylinder radial engined bike or recently the Wonderful Allen Millyard with his 4 and 5 cylinder 2 strokes and many more.

Nor of the original inline fours used in Hendersons and Indians.

Thanks for watching

Killer Kows

Yes

This depends on the specific types, which they missed in the video. As far as air-cooled goes there's 2 types being the off-set (rear cylinder is offset, so the front cylinder doesn't block the air flow as much) and no-offset. In the latter, cooling can be increased by raising the fuel tank to allow separate air flow over the front cylinder to reach the rear, but there is still an inherent cooling issue with the rear as you mention here.

Your talking two engines - Harley style single crank pin and conventional bicycle type twin crank pin. Harley style is a radial.

Hey, thanks!

Indeed, there is a HUGE difference in power deliver at specific cycle points that make it a unique power plant vs the flat-plane used in every other commercial application today

... It's still an inline 4 which ever way you look at it! ??

Suzuki wasn't the only one. Your point is no less valid.
