BTW... you forgot the Van Veen

I remember seeing the Quasar at the bike show in the 1970's, never did see one on the road though. The BMW C1 was a kind of commuter version, that failed. I remember reading about the Yamaha in the 1990's, but like the TESI, bikers don't like things that are too complicated, so it was a concept that was doomed to fail.

@AndreiTupolev 2 года назад

I was thinking the Quasar had something of the Bond Bug about it, and the Reliant engine just reinforces that

@baldyhead 2 года назад

I was confident I'd know all of them, but you burst my bubble with the Cake Calk, which I knew nothing about.

@sydsnott5042 2 года назад

Blimey I forgot all about the Quasar and the Bimota Tesi. But this video certainly brought back initial thoughts on those machines. Nice one 👍

Well, I remember seeing some footage of the Gurney Gator with that strange low sitting position. I always wanted to give it a go! But the bike I really want to see built is the Akira Bike from the movie. I've seen so many home builds. I'd love to see a proper one.

@rocksreynolds3642 2 года назад

I remember the Quasar because one of the characters in the Tiger comic in the early 80's rode one; maybe Skid Solo? I forget that bit but always remembered the bike.

@frankpowell1778 2 года назад

I saw a german built radial powered motorcycle in a museum. The engine made up the ‘spokes’ of the front wheel and the carburetor was off the left hub.

@AaronSpielman 2 года назад

@kekke2000 2 года назад

Cake Kalk is my favourite among these. I love the idea of quietly slipping through traffic in a city.

Most of the images of the 2-trac in this video are not actually the 2-trac but just a regular WR450F, some of them are not even the contemporary regular bike but the much later alloy framed models. The 2-trac has the hydraulic drive hoses running down the right hand fork leg to the front hub which is much bigger than a normal hub. In addition there's the pump and extra plumbing on the left side of the engine. It's also wrong to describe it as a motocross bike, it's an enduro bike which is a different discipline. The hub-centre steered Yamaha GTS is also worth a mention in the Tesi section. The Tesi was the original hub-centre road bike but Yamaha sold more GTSs than Bimota sold Tesis.

James cycle company was the first in 1910 and the Ner-a-car in 1920.

Love the vid I saw a quasar at the bmf in Peterborough in 2018 And there is a two wheel drive bike in the Sammy Miller museum that is chain drive looks dangerous and amazing at same time

The eQooder is an electric scooter with four wheels that leans like a normal bike. You drive it on a car license. Qooder is working on a roofed version inspired by the BMW C1.

@thevoxofreason8468 2 года назад

I know and love the 841. I remember reading about the 2wd Yamaha and Tesi in magazines when they were new. The other two are new to me. However, didn't BMW develop some type of partially enclosed motorcycle like the Quasar? I need to go searching now to see what I can find. (Edit) I found it. The BMW C1.

@danweyant707 2 года назад

I've actually ridden a Bimota Tesi. (Buddy with a sportbike shop had one in storage that needed exercise) rather limited steering lock, but really rode just fine in general had an air cooled Ducati twin and a crazy bodywork shell. Not sure what you mean by `hydraulic` - aside from the brakes and clutch. - the steering linkage was entirely mechanical.

@Ronaldl2350 2 года назад

I remember the Bimota Tesi racing at Daytona. Unfortunately it crashed in practice and was too damaged to be fixed and be in the Daytona 200.

@bobstuart2638 2 года назад

OK, I have heard of a Hossack front suspension, but I wish I'd seen one here.

@tonysargent1699 2 года назад

I would advise watching "Jawa Tino" on RU-vid to aid your knowledge of some of the more vintage types of motorcycles. When I was a youngster, ( which was some time ago, I wanted a Quazar bike but would never own one!

@Thorsten_Kueppers 2 года назад

I‘m missing the BMW C1 in this list.

@Yvolve 2 года назад

I've ridden the Cake, it's insane. The only thing you hear is the chain going at the speed of sound and it just goes, that's all there is to it. At only 70kgs, it's so fast and agile, every motorbike feels cumbersome after riding it. I've also seen a two-wheel drive Yamaha XT660, which was apparently made in collaboration with, or even by Yamaha if I remember correctly.

@ninthundertow 2 года назад

I know nothing about bikes but I saw a Honda CBX in a magazine and thought to myself... "that's wierd". Anyone have any thoughts on the CBX?

The last bike feels like a paid promotion.

@B-A-L 2 года назад

I always wanted a fully enclosed Ecomobile but was always afraid I'd forget to lower the outriggers in slow moving traffic and fall over and get stuck and laughed at! Oh and I didn't have the £20,000 asking price for one... thats 1980s asking price, about the equivalent of 10 BMW K100s that the engine was sourced from!

@aussiebloke609 2 года назад

One small point - if you ever watch an American WWII-era training film, you'll notice that the Willys is pronounced "Willis" - the y sounds like an i.

@sirsplintfastthepungent1373 2 года назад

I built a Tesi model when I was a kid, with a working steering system. Absolute bananas example of unnecessary over design.

@StephanieElizabethMann 2 года назад

A friend owns a boxer motor powered Harley. This has me wondering if he really owns an Indian. I have a hard time thinking he'd have not realised and he's been on enough vintage /veteran rallies that he would have been pulled up for it. But I am wondering.

Yet again, interesting content delivered in prat mode. I only watched because of the Quasar. I stopped watching non race videos from you a long time ago. Sadly I made a big mistake. Stick to racing, or grow up.

Bikes are just a more creative way of wrapping yourself around a tree.

When you think about it, all of life is a creative way of putting yourself in a grave. Might as well have fun while you're doing it.
