Very clever, BUT the best thing about 5 cylinder engines is the amazing sound so you have to make a new crankshaft and camshafts to get that awesome sound. Then you can say, "bloody wonderful"

How do you lose 30hp by turning a chain and 1 wheel? Not being a pain, just wondering. It sounds like quite a high loss to the wheel.

[@tituskoreman1565]

I usually see 175hp at the wheel on a 200hp bike, 12 to 15% loss is quite normal for a bike. Imagine how much drivetrain loss you have in a car.. 🤒

[@identiticrisis]

@@tituskoreman1565 It's about the same because of fewer direction changes. Unless it's 4WD.

[@Nafeels]

It sounds like overlaying a 3-pot onto a 2-pot engine, which considering the firing intervals would be more appropriate. Definitely didn’t have that iconic harmony of a 144 or a 72 deg firing interval, rather this one had somewhat of a brutal punch that gets harsher the higher the rev. Also, this level of backyard engineering definitely had Allen Millyard vibes. His projects alone definitely worth several videos to discuss.

[@identiticrisis]

The overall impression would be a lot like a 180 degree parallel twin, because of the 3:1 ratio of the interval groupings (90+90 vs. 180+180+180; equivalent to 180-540)

[@identiticrisis]

I would be concerned about the imbalance. He clearly was capable of making a bespoke crank for the GSXR1100 6-pot, why not also this 5 cylinder Busa? I think they may fall short of their power target because of internal harmonics, also. Now if only someone could do this to an F20C...

[@kepofshangri-la8942]

I'm think many would people agree with this, but I find the Hayabusa engine most interesting in anything but a bike. Having such a high-revving and rowdy engine in a small car is such a cool phenomenon. It's a completely different sensation, perhaps more exciting (compared to the stock engine); an engine that is extremely performance oriented, outstandingly energetic, and still has power that is proportional to the car it's swapped into. It would prove to make an outstanding driver's car.

[@dorsetwarrior3870]

I am outraged by the fact that it's not a 144° inline 5 ! What a missed opportunity 😢

[@GoldenGrenadier]

It's actually better for a motorcycle engine to be odd firing because the small dips in torque allow the back tire to recover grip instead of sliding continuously.

[@VisioRacer]

I like he did it this way. First, much easier to manufacture. Second, interesting sound, not as common as an inline-4, but definitely got some tones of it with the 5th cylinder making it sound bit angrier. That's also the third reason - it is different, everybody knows 144° inline-fives, this is original. Cool project

[@dorsetwarrior3870]

@@VisioRacer yeah of course that's an awesome project but my heart for 5cyl wanted a smooth reving high pitch one like the volvo btcc 2l. I get why odd firing is better for bikes but im all about sound ngl

The size is one of the disadvantage factor for motorycycle. The need light weight and size less for the mobility

[@Turnipstalk]

@@adrianlovic6486 People have tried inline sixes (Benelli, Honda). They are very wide and this can cause end to end vibrations in the crankshaft. As a result of the packaging, cost and shaft twisting issues they all failed. V4 is as much as any designer needs. Compact, aerodynamic, pretty much ideal cylinder size.
