All that and not one number

As mentioned in the description, we were running in a newly built engine, not looking for HP numbers.

Would I prefer it to my original unrestricted gen1 Busa?.. Maybe..

I passed my motorcycle license in 1968 in France. At that time there was no motorcycle school and we had to come and introduce ourselves with our motorcycle, so we came with our motorcycle without a license. The inspector told us to leave and go around a block and watched us start, so I stuck out my right arm to turn and then the inspector didn't see me again until we got back. I passed it with my BSA 350cc. There was another guy who came with a 1,000 Vincent but the poor guy never managed to start his motorcycle so no license. 🤢It was the first time I had seen a 1,000 Vincent and it didn't leave a good impression on me but it was a magnificent engine and it was the biggest at that time.

Truly one of history's most over-rated motorcycles. Truly.

We understand that you were just breaking the bike in and not looking for any numbers. JUST TELL US WHAT THE FRIGGING NUMBER WAS!

@kinghamracing 4 ай бұрын

I'm not sure you understand how a dyno is used, it doesn't give HP numbers unless you make a power run, which is conducted from low revs in top gear to maximum revs at full throttle. A calculation is then made by the software and a graph showing various readings, including hp is produced. That is not what we were doing here, we were using it as a rolling road so THERE ARE NO NUMBERS. If you want to see a power run on a Vincent (with hp numbers) take a look at our other video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGKUZ6mKgceUq80si=IRkkWkvNtcEo0xr6

@@kinghamracing OK. I was sort of giving you a hard time as everyone was screaming for numbers. If you ever do get the HP of that bike though we would all like to know where it stands.

Bait and switch . Who posts a dyno run without any numbers . The title is misleading . I'm guess in 70 RWHP MAYBE ?

New engine was being run in so not looking for hp numbers.

That was my question too, my guess is 67 at the wheel :)

@douglas9607 3 ай бұрын

Good guess. I'm guessing between 65 and 75. Beautiful bike. Be gentle, I know you are.

@doglover31418 6 ай бұрын

Why is the gear-changing necessary? Surely the peak power is the same in any gear?

@kinghamracing 6 ай бұрын

You can't start the bike in top gear, need to start off in 1st or 2nd. We are not measuring peak power here but if we were it would be done in top gear.

@bradpotter6401 4 ай бұрын

I believe transmissions are the most efficient in top gear where there is no reduction through the gears. The input and output shaft are locked together and the power is not transferred through the countershaft.

@greatkingrat 4 ай бұрын

When dynoing a bike (or any vehicle) you need it to be in the gear that is the closest to 1:1 ratio for a proper test. A lower gear will reduce the power figures.

My guess, it will be 58hp at the wheel.

@douglas9607 3 ай бұрын

An XLCH had numbers like that Terry. The Vincent must be something above that. Interesting to speculate. My guess the Vinny would be 74. But 58 is likely too. Greetings from Maryland
