Title: Twin engines Post by paulmarshall on 04/14/13 at 15:55:51 Can we do this with 2 Savages. ;D http://bringatrailer.com/2011/06/17/ty-exclusive-early-70s-twin-engine-yamaha-drag-bike/ |

Title: Re: Twin engines Post by rfw2003 on 04/14/13 at 16:03:27 Don't see how it would be possible with the Savage Engines since the Tranny is built into the engine. you would need Motorcycle engines that have a separate tranny from the engine to be able to pull this off and make it work properly R.F. |

Title: Re: Twin engines Post by apache snow on 04/14/13 at 16:07:17 Those two yamahas have the tranny built into the engine. |

yeah I know, I just don't see how that's gonna work out, unless the engines have had mods done to them to eliminate the tranny and clutch system then a divorced tranny is used. Otherwise you would have some interesting shifting issues and sync issues between the 2 engines. It's hard enough to tune multiple engines to work together properly but to add in 2 trannies to drive 1 wheel, that's not something I would want to even try to tackle R.F. |

Title: Re: Twin engines Post by paulmarshall on 04/14/13 at 16:27:51 The link gives a little info. Apparently clutch operates rear motor only. http://bringatrailer.com/2011/06/17/ty-exclusive-early-70s-twin-engine-yamaha-drag-bike/ |

Title: Re: Twin engines Post by rfw2003 on 04/14/13 at 16:35:33 Looks like it was also built for static show only, with that last pic you posted, the middle stand that's keeping it upright is solid welded to the frame with no joints to fold it up or remove it. I can see that it might work like that but can the one clutch actually hold the power of 2 engines??? who knows. I think this was just a concept build just to make a static display out of spare parts. R.F. |

Title: Re: Twin engines Post by RidgeRunner13 on 04/14/13 at 17:32:17 Russ Collins built a top fuel drag bike back in 1973 using 3 Honda 750 engines called the Atchison, Topeka, & the Santa Fe. I saw it run at Bowling Green, Ky. that year when I rode up with a group from Jackson, Tn. Sonny Routt had a twin engine Triumph & T.C.Christenson a twin engine Norton. Somewhere on my old computer I had a picture of a triple engine RD350. The front two engines had the cases cut to eliminate the transmissions. 8-) |

Title: Re: Twin engines Post by apache snow on 04/14/13 at 17:42:24 I was at Beech Bend drag way that year. But I was there from 1971 through 1976. That was a big three day event. The last year there were 30,000 bikers there and there several people killed. (not on the strip) I remember Joe Smith and TC Christenson. Those were the days. I rode a Harley back then. http://granddaddy-joe-smith-nostalgia.blogspot.com/ http://joesmithdragracing.blogspot.com/2010/09/joe-smiths-double-harley-davidson.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqwJzzlroLI |

Title: Re: Twin engines Post by houstonbofh on 04/14/13 at 20:41:31 As long as you have a way to make solid shifts, and a Y on the clutch cable, you can run them both and just have a second sprocket to chain them together. And you are right about the sync being more complex, but not much more than 4 carbs on one engine. |

Title: Re: Twin engines Post by Serowbot on 04/14/13 at 23:51:34 If that guy does a burn-out, to heat up the tires... he's gonna' have a molten rubber skunk-stripe up his leathers and helmet... ;D ;D ;D... |

Title: Re: Twin engines Post by srinath on 04/15/13 at 01:24:51 On the xs650's they have removed the trans mission from the front. However this is a crime to do to an xs, and they made a better version of it @ the factory, you can even get it cheaper than an xs650 ... called an xs1100 ... or get a GS1100 and wipe the floor with both of these. Complicated sheiete. Cool. Srinath. |

Title: Re: Twin engines Post by wambr on 04/15/13 at 09:18:09 this handsome, if memory serves me, was made a couple of years ago... at first I read about it in the Russian magazine "MOTO". and was simply shocked by such details, that there have been published . Yes, indeed, he is SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL! and yet, as I began to ride in that motorcycles(I had the URAL M-63), I at least and remotely can imagine how huge amount of work was done to create such a "SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL" and of what he is "in reality" |

Title: Re: Twin engines Post by justin_o_guy2 on 04/15/13 at 09:46:18 I swiped those pics & posted them in a forum.. lets see if any of those guys have any details on it,, Best I can tell, its what the Guzzi guys call a Ural & is one of the "Go To" machines for sidecar tugging. The former "Leader" of the Guzzi board had one. He recently passed,, young guy, too. PLane landed, he stood up, said he felt dizzy, sat down & never got up.. he was a nice guy, too,, at least, if its possible to read the peace & happiness in a mans face & eyes. Anyway,, others said he was nice & he sure Looked it to me, |

Title: Re: Twin engines Post by wambr on 04/15/13 at 10:30:01 JOG,you interesting details about these guys? |

Title: Re: Twin engines Post by justin_o_guy2 on 04/15/13 at 10:40:29 If there are construction pics & specs on the engine, engines, whatever, Id sure scan thru, but dont go to any trouble to post it. Its no big deal. I mostly wanted to show it to those other guys. I expect there will be some real appreciation for that machine, So far, 9 have looked, no replies,tho. |

Title: Re: Twin engines Post by Gyrobob on 04/18/13 at 10:35:54 How about a bike with 24 motors? I have seen one with more than that, but I cannot find it at the moment. http://bikeglam.com/funky-motorcycle-the-dolmette-bike-with-24-chainsaw-engines/ |
|
Title: Re: Twin engines Post by wambr on 04/18/13 at 10:41:37 interesting idea...24 engine from chainsaws...there's probably 1000000000000000 horsepower :) |

I am sorry to say.....I have spent more time with my hand on a chainsaw than a bike the last few years. An MS880 is the largest Stihl chainsaw right now....and it is around 8 HP. Most homeowner saws are less than 3 hp.....and most midsize professional saws are in the 4-6 HP range. So a 24 chainsaw engines probably makes about 100 smokey horsepeower......and a lot of noise! :o |

Power units two 98cc Villiers mower engines developing 6BHP approximate. It runs and has been used on velodromes, reputed speed 40 mph. Inspired by 1915 Indian board track racer. |
