Some of those bikes looked as though they had not been made by Cletus, helped by his brother Cletus, and their uncle Cletus, designed by their cousin Cletus, with the cloth work done by his sister, Cletus.
Absolutely zero overcompensation going on with some of those. Also nice clickbait using Allen Millyards V10 Viper in the thumbnail, but not the video...
jim wortham thanks for your comment. I disagree. There are 2 ways to achieve dependability. 1 Buy something with a really good reputation, learn about it's weaknesses and plan/modify accordingly. 2 Build your own, road test repeatedly over signifigant distance and work out any bugs. Cheers.
Sharptooth 100 I don't understand your comment. North American V8s and V6s, especially Ford and GM, are some of the toughest, most durable and most reliable gasoline engines ever built by humanity.
@@californiadreaming9216 I would agree, but displacement/power ratio is ridiculously small, if we are talking about older ones. Not the mention excessive fuel consumption, that we have to care about nowadays, with those prices, every gallon, or even liter is kinda precious.
Why do people mock the practically of these bikes. They weren't made to be practical. All they wanted to do was to put a big ass engine on a bike. That's it
When you have a motorcycle that has 450+ horse power you know that the sport bike guys are worried that Americans build more powerful machines that the Japanese
Although I have a lot of respect for these big engine hobby projects, the reality is that these bike are overpowered (power to weight ratio is way off) and are very very hard to handle, even in a straight line.
@@waitingforacentury Me too. But always there is that one American that is too proud of "power", but never made a single engine in history, with smaller displacement, while maintaining power lol. Talking about motorcycles is even more ridicoulous, lol. As badly I like Harley's, they are snails compared to even 500 cc average Japanese engine, LOL...
If you can not pick up the motorcycle at the back and rotate it 180 degrees about the front wheel it is to big for you to ride. I ride a HD 883 sportster on the road and a Honda XR250R off road.
