He has no fucking clue what he is doing and the way he is driving shows that.

He beat the shit out of the clutch and transmission and has that serious face on like as if he knows wtf he is doing. Yea, real fucking Schumacher, bro 👍

If it’s got a choke it’s 150bhp crank max and will redline at 11,750rpm with only 70lb ft of torque. That’s why it doesn’t feel ‘that’ fast

[@magicracer1]

If the owner sees this video, he will never let you drive again🤭

[@KeyserSoze5421]

If it’s got a choke it’s the early model R1 (4xv/5jj) and won’t be running 175bhp, I’d be very surprised if it was, the more powerful later fuel injected models were around the 170-175 mark.

[@Chilled_Mackers]

Is there more information on this car? I love the idea of front mounted rwd - would love to see the prop-shaft and rear axle setup. Also, what transfer box does it have for the forward/reverse - is it the type that means you also have 5/6 gears in reverse? So used to seeing front mounted front wheel drive or rear mounted rear wheel drive - both of those have chains and Quaife ATB diffs.

[@Heretic_Dezign]

Every bike engined car I have built, (and I have built a few) I have put a standard bike ratio hand clutch on the gearstick, and matched the throttle pedal ratio to the action on the carbs/throttle bodies to make things much easier to drive, there is no need for this light switch clutch and throttle shizzle

[@SkaRasaWaESenya]

You should be able to change gears without the clutch? Could be wrong. Find out and re-do this video 😁

It depends if it's a new R1 engine and has a quick shifter with auto blip if not you need to use the clutch

@@Sloth6930You can clutchless upshift any manual transmission, just by lifting the throttle. There's more to it than that, in certain cases, but, generally that is the truth.

[@Sleepy_spartan717]

Definitely should be able to. Even old 90s super bikes can be shifted without the clutch. You just can’t pussyfoot the gear change. You’ve gotta be a man about it and grab it. This is such a cool, clean build and would be a blast here in the Pennsylvania backroads.

This car is giving me a special feeling. I cannot believe this is up to win and down already! Gotta be so quick with these uploads as it'll be up one day and gone the same day haha

[@boltonky]

I had a 350kg buggy (inlc me in it) with similar engine and you will burn clutches learning to drive it (especially from a stop) and also remember you really only need to clutch on downshifting and if worried just throttle off a bit to unload it and shift. Have fun and def take to an open track day as it could potentially get over 250kph with right gearing quick

You gotta think of the throttle and clutch like a bike you gotta feather both on take off

[@BobsBikingAdventures]

If it's got the bike gearbox, which it looks like it is, you don't really need to use the clutch on up-shifts. Just let off the throttle a smidge and change up. Best to use the clutch on down shifts, of course!

This is super sexy especially with the seats pushed back and it's rear-wheel drive which is a huge perk. It would be kind of weird driving it. I'm boring I guess though because of a car like that I'd put something like a reliable simple 2-liter 4-cylinder in it with like 200 horsepower, or maybe a rotary engine because why not. And of course we will drive is what all mayonnaise should be so that's damn cool!
