Just blown away by this man and his patience and level of skill and ingenuity. You don't get many people like this in a generation. RESPECT to the creator and his fantastic creations.
We all are blown away as well. Allen Millyard is an international treasure. It just amazes me, the engineering and work he puts into these custom motorcycle treasures. And such a nice guy as well.
Look up 1200hp twin-supercharged nitrous boss hoss, it's on do it with dan channel. Always a bigger fish... Although this is more unique/rare for sure. To be fair, boss hoss started out with SBC i think, which could be under 200hp stock, and i think you can use ls engines, a modified ls7 is easily over 600hp.
I can't think of a superlative that hasn't already been used to describe the sheer outrageous beauty of this bike, the incredible engineering that went into it's design and construction or the humble, softly spoken genius that turned an idea into reality. Allen, you genuinely are one of my real life heroes. If I'd designed and built just one aspect of that bike I'd be pretty pleased with myself.
You are basically left in shock seeing his work. Like, how did he think of that, and how did he build it so precisely as though it had a whole team of engineers working on it? It's not the same as a custom chopper, which has been done a million times. Allen's projects have never been created before in history, and there is no template to follow. He is inventing something from scratch. Inventions usually require several "prototypes" to get them just right. He starts out and builds the final product without any prototype, and it's absolutely amazing. Even the Boss Hoss V8 had dozens of terrible prototypes.
At one of your smallest sprockets and see how fast that motorcycle will actually go I would love to see that happen thank you so much for sharing your videos with us I take my hat off to you sir
He is absolutely inspirational to me. 100%. I am garden shed “motorcycle enthusiast”. I do my own maintenance. What I would love to be able to do though is to use my hands as a torque wrench like Allen does. 😔
I'm amazed at the level of detail, thought, and polish that went into this build. It's not just like someone stuffed an oversize engine into whatever frame they could find to make it work. It actually looks like a finished engineered product and has some really novel tricks like the hand/foot clutch and a nice display. This is something you could actually live with on a regular basis, not just a toy that's a bear to ride and is only useable for shows or stuff like that.
Awesome! Just the low-end torque pulling away and the speed achieved at such low revs (relatively) on rural roads is a sight (and sound) to behold. Setting off the other bike’s alarms on the ferry - classic, what a beast! 👍
@@moth3rfck3r-s4n Of course, but the lorry had an empty weight of ~10 tons plus possible 5 tons of payload. Torque also has nothing to do with weight, it's an output of the engine which mostly depends on the displacement. ;-)
Ever since seeing the V10 motorcycle, I've had a dream of one day building a car engine motorcycle. Although, it does seem slightly more appealing having a trike, because then you don't have be constantly worried about accidentally leaning too far and SMASHING the priceless artwork. My idea is to take the front subframe off a front wheel drive car, and make a trike. The Polaris/Bombardier trikes look awesome!
Just found your videos a few days ago, it is amazing to me how calm and soft spoken you seem, but how rowdy the machines you build are. Thanks for the fantastic content.
Hi Mr Millyard. I clicked on your channel my mistake but decided to watch until the end. I have never ridden a motorcycle and have no intention of starting now i'm 59. However, after watching and especially listening to the sound of that beast you were unleashing on the world I did briefly have a pang of regret for never having had go. My respect and best wishes go out to you and all the other two wheel people 👍
Never too old to start mate, after all the cars I've had over the years nothing comes close to the freedom of being out on a bike. Plenty of great bikes out nowadays to start on as well.
Absolutely stunning machine and I cannot imagine the thought and engineering that went in to it, words cannot describe it! Let me know when you would like those spark plugs for the FM Allen :)
How great it is, that riders can get solid maintenance advice while looking at all the fine details of such an amazing machine. Also, it's oddly satisfying when Allen says "so that's good". Makes me feel like everything is right with the world.
LOL - This thing idles at the speed limit. I love the care you put into maintaining this awesome ride. 100 years from now it will be in a museum for all to enjoy.
UNBELIEVABLE''--I HAVE BEEN RIDING FOR 50 PLUS YEARS=NEVER HAVE I SEEN SUCH A WONDERFUL MACHINE'' I HAVE HAD A CYCLE SHOP==MOSTLY BRITISH BIKES===I JUST SUBSCRIBED==GREAT VIDEO--RIDE SAFE''--TOO'' COOL'' I AM NOW IN THE PHILIPPINES--BUT LIVE IN NEW ENGLAND--
Imagine having Allan as a neighbour, it would be brilliant. I would never be back from his door picking his brains, an absolute gentleman and a mindblowing engineer.
You know you have built something different when there is more innovation going into the stands than most builds see in total. A V10 8 litre 200+mph bike made usable by attention to detail and out the box thinking. True engineering genius, coupled with superb choreography, editing and per-suite of perfection in all aspects , this channel always puts a smile on my face with just how well done everything is.
Hearing that engine / exhaust noise from a bike is just hilarious! The rev's vs speed is just a mindbender to a normal biker. Really like your maintenance video'ing, instead of loud music playing in background, it just becomes soothing and educational, wish more new riders watched. Great work sir 👍
Absolutely brilliant work Allen, congratulations on getting your MoT done and dusted 👍. Forgive my just stumbling in at this late stage but wow, I love your ingenious center stand idea and especially your attention to detail and your willingness and discipline to take each step calmly and methodically to achieve your expected end with minimal fuss and bother, a sheer joy to behold. Oh how brilliant it would be to build a center stand like yours for my Harley, would make lots just so much easier. I’m sure that you don’t have plans available nor the time to do such a thing but am wondering if you have any earlier or conversely any plans to make a video on the side stand so that I could get an idea on how to go about designing and building one to fit my bike. Have a wonderful day Allen, keep the shiny side up and stay safe as best you can mate with all the best from a 60 yo in wonder from Down Under
I have to say, this is one of the most amazing machines to grace our British roads (and surprisingly, it's road legal). What's more, everything is so well thought through, as if it was the product of a top manufacturer, not a scratch built one-off. An incredible engineering achievement.
@@fallinginthed33p - Lord Allen of Millyard's work holds a special dispensation under ancient Saxon-Dane law - eg. "Oh, for goodness sake, yes, just give him what he wants & leave me alone!" Harold, Xmas 1065. All this means that Boris has to just stand back in awe & the Crown can't touch him for it. Rightly so, too : )
His work is so inspiring. It has given me so many ideas seeing his stuff. It's shocking to me that he doesn't have his own TV show, or be a regular guest on Jay Leno or something. He deserves to be world famous and more renown. I hope he does get his "due" in time.
The idea of a super low revving, tractor-like car engine in a motorcycle, is extremely appealing. Because motorcycles are geared incorrectly and they revv way too high during gentle cruising. I ride a Hayabusa, and it turns 3,450 rpms at 60mph, when it should be turning about 2,300 rpms. There is zero load on the engine at 60mph so it needs much, much, much taller gear ratios. I dream of "high gears." So my idea is to take a car engine and transmission with a tall overdrive ratio (1,900 rpms at 60mph) and build a front engine trike with 2 wheels in the front. A front wheel drive trike. Wouldn't that be easy enough?
Hilariously, Ridiculously amazing piece of engineering….. madness made metal. love it, although i don’t think it would suit my south London commute particularly well, a tad heavy, probably not the best at filtering, quite thirsty I imagine but it does seem to go quite well at tickover…. i shudder to think what happens if you nail it. im guessing lack of low down torque isn’t an issue, moving the planet on its axis might be. keep up the insanity, it fills my heart with joy.
@@AllenMillyard Interesting .... probably an understatement... Warm, I can imagine, my Ducati poaches my plums on a warm day, the V10 must be like riding your trusty barbecue. I think the very fact that you have covered 9000+ miles and ride it to events says a lot about the bikes rideability and the size of your stones. What a machine.
I have the utmost respect for Allen and all of his creations. My bucket list has a spot reserved for meeting Allen one day. Another beautiful piece brother. Stay safe, John
Dual side stands - genius. Amazing engineering throughout - but 600Kg! And all delivered in the tone of someone going out for a gentle ride on their 125. Wonderful chap.
This bike is madness, absolute MADNESS! I approve. Has your son ridden it? I only have daughters and they have no interest in my Hotrods, if I had something like this I wonder how reluctant I'd be to let my children hava a go. If my Dad had one I'd never stop badgering him for a chance
At work one day a buddy took me to the job in one of the company's Dodge trucks with a V-10. He literally scared me by the power of that motor, in a possibly 6,000 lb truck, and his lack of any driving safety inhibitions. I can't imagine what the power curve is on that 1300 lb bike.
Hey Walter, as they say, all the gear and no idea, re your ride in the truck. But Allen has some great ideas. In one vid he speaks of the high speed runs that were done by the bike tester that has tested just about every fast manufacturers bike, and this Viper was amazing, obviously. Allen showed the torque curve, not a curve but a straight line. Apparently at about 170-180 mph acceleration gets slower, but not on Allen's Viper. We can only assume as most of us will never actually experience it personally. The ideas and engineering outcomes are "just brilliant", just like Allen. May he and his like minded brethren continue on. Kind Regards.
Amazing I am from New Zealand and I had the honour to meet Bert Munro who set a world speed record. Yes I went to a race meeting in Christchurch and saw the bike it was an old Indian. I did not realise at the time this chap was quite famous. I fully restored an army Indian myself silly me I sold it when I came to Australia later. In 1972 I visited Invercargill and raced my Suzuki 500 on the beach where Bert was famous. That beach was in the film about Bert. Amazing to see these works of art of yours. Brings back a lot of memories. Cheers
I have been following your work for many years. I'm an old guy, and I always loved Kawasaki 2-stroke triples. That's how I initially got into your incredible builds. The things you were doing with two-stroke Kawasaki motors was almost incomprehensible to me. I'm speechless.
Brutal home engineering mixed with back yard nature programme. Thank God for brits in sheds/garages, the world would be boring without them. Thanks Alan👍
Really enjoy Allen's videos. The combination of Allen's conceptualizing, engineering, and machinist skills all together are remarkable. His bikes are hotrod concepts that astound bike owners. A guy with his talents could probably look at alternative engine designs and come up with something trully spectacular. I would like to see him do it. I salute Allen.
Whenever I need inspiration for my projects I come to this channel. Guaranteed each time I watch a video from you about your projects I am immediately able to get back out in the shop and continue what I am working on!
Monster of a bike Allen, sounds like a Chieftain tank and goes like bullet train. Great idea having a ratchet centre stand...some weight in that machine.
I've seen every v8 and v10 hair brained bike build you can imagine since the early 80s. But this is actually a competent bike engineered around the engine wIth thought and its...ACTUALLY RIDABLE!
You’re a really clever man. An excellent engineer. However I’m astounded that you don’t secure the strap on your crash helmet. It takes nothing for your helmet to come off if you’re involved in a crash. Then the only thing protecting your head is …….
The inertia effect is tremendous every time you start that beast up. Amazing stuff. Due to being inline and with such huge rotating mass, does it affect your riding much or does the weight of the whole bike overcome that force on itself?
@@petergersbach7355 doesn't really seem like careful coordination. This engine has insane amounts of low end torque. Little bit of gas and slowly releasing the clutch is all it needs to get going, All you need to be careful about is the gas, because stalling doesn't seem like its an issue, since if you release the clutch too fast you will probably spin out and end up in a ditch no matter how much gas you give it lol
Christ...I remember seeing your bike back in the 2012 Isle of Man TT, first time at the bottom of Bray Hill and then again the same day on later that week on Douglas Promenade. Both times I was awe struck by this bike and definitely left a mark. Great to see it still out and about.
This bike is a perfect example to realize how good of an inventor Allen really is. Its crazy to know how well this guy is and what’s crazier is that we are so lucky to see his great inventions and builds sitting in another corner of the world. Genius Allen, love you and your builds… please never stop uploading and inspiring us 🙏
I was literally laughing at loud while watching this. Sound of this beautiful beast is unbelievable! This amazing bike is one of the most impressive creation that has ever made.
This "Bike" is the most beautiful and amazing feat of automotive engineering by an individual layman I have ever seen in all my days......Congratulations on your Masterpiece Allen, you have done yourself proud.
Thank you for video Allen, It's amazing how you managed to build motorcycle with such ridiculously large engine in a way that even in a closer look it seems to be something that could come out of factory. I hope one day i will be able to be as patient and skilled as you so i can put as much details into parts i create as you do.
Rev counter indicating just above tick over lol! I Love this bike Allen. Placement of mirrors looks perfect. Thank you for upload. Your skill as an engineer and old school ways of getting around problems is outstanding.
Perfect. I love this video because when I see a bike like this, or any bike for that matter, I mentally run through in my mind what it’s like to ride. What’s it like to open the throttle how will it feel and respond. The beauty of this video is that it gives the best impression of what it actually feels like as best you can get without actually riding it. I feel that I actually known what it’s like now listening to the engine and the revs and the throttle response, a brilliant experience for me. It’s lumpy torquey beyond belief but controllable and useable, a gorgeous gargantuan of a thing, something to be celebrated . Excellent work Allen.
Even a good few years after it's creation, this bike is still epic. Mr Millyard makes it all look so easy, and his quality of work is insane! Love these little interludes too 😆 If I had the cash and could bribe him, I'd love a viper trike..the old back injury prevents me 2 wheeling.... 😢
Aluminum powder is a nightmare! You have to scrub and scrub and scrub to get it to come off of anything, including your hands. Soap helps a little, but for things that aren't my skin, I usually end up using acid
Absolutely amazing creation of yours Allen. I wonder in hundred years time, when we are long gone and your wonderful machines are probably in a motorcycle museum, what will be said then about the creator of these brilliant mad and wonderful machines. Thank you
The MOT station must love you coming in……..”Millyard is coming this afternoon with the big fella!” As always Allan a real pleasure to subscribe. Keep an eye on the hedgehogs, their up to something!
I can't imagine what a thrill it must be to be belting round the back roads on something entirely hand-built by yourself. You deserve every moment of enjoyment that comes your way, Allen! And I wonder that the folks at the servo thought when this mechanical monster rolled in to get fuel!!!!!!!!!!
My thoughts too, wondering why he doesn't just use the largest rear sprocket for everything except speed runs. But after thinking about it, you probably wanna keep the RPMs as low as possible on the street due to the immense torque. I'm sure cruising at 2-3k RPM is clunky and touchy due to the power.
Allen you just put a huge smile on my face every time I see your videos - the engineering is exceptional, I missed Tracy's cakes Today and the hedge hogs are little monkeys - thank you - thank you for making me smile. 👍
I can imagine it’s quite scary in the wet! I’m a fair weather rider also. Just not fun in the wet. I see you live near Pangbourne! I’m in reading. Though never seen your bike on the roads. That is an awesome machine you have there. Ride safe 👌🏻
Not sure if it is still there, but many years ago there was a Volvo engine powered bike, I last see it in eastleigh Hampshire, don't know much more other than it toured Europe back in the day, is that one your familiar with at all? Would be interesting to see it again...👍
