Konig 500 at Chimay in 2016.

A Konig doing its stuff. look and learn. 2 stroke GodBike. Watch it slice through the field like a knife through butter. It's like it's in a different league..

[@massimilianobelloni5613]

Still an amazing bike after all these years RIP Kim Newcombe

[@monfrig6959]

NOTHING beats a 2 stroke NOTHING !!!

[@montyjohnson4741]

RIP Kim, he was the best

[@hansbruhl9871]

Diese Maschine mit dem 500ccm 4-Zyl-2-Takt Boxer König-Bootsmotor geht richtig gut.

[@subliutenant]

That is some kind of Bike! And Rider!! Well impressed with that performance! Brilliant!!

[@Kennethbairdleth]

It gives me the chills, in a good way. It's like watching "Silver dream racer" for the first time when I was a kid.

[@Plateaudweller]

What a beautiful sound on throttle.

[@user-gn3pw5gl5x]

Уникальный мотоцикл, со своей харизмой. И всё благодаря Kim

[@xenonozhid3383]

Looks like the marshall and other officials had plenty of Chimay!

Kim Newcombes Konig made Agostini MV look like it was going backwards RIP Kim

I can recommend the book of his biography: "Kim - The Kiwi on The KoniG" by Tim Hanna. Greetings froM New Zealand.

[@jochenwagner5170]

Magnificent! Thank you!

[@tsolina2]

blipping throttle brilliantly, i love it!

[@marcelushugo]

.. he just has no competition. He uncompromisingly takes all ...

[@pauloconnor7951]

In a class of its own !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@robertskinner6487]

Almost like he was racing against mopeds

[@sixtyshippee]

This looks to be a parade most riders going steady on there expensive classics though it is nice to here that stroker giving the business.

[@paulwaikawa]

pretty quick Parade, he's changing gear within 500rpm of the redline, great to see these bikes out and being used for what they are designed for, but no need to send one down the road on its side!

[@jeftips4956]

Ik heb Hans De Wit al een paar keer tegengekomen met de ECHTE König, laatst nog in Gedinne, Hans is nu 78 jaar.... ongelooflijk. De sound van die 2-takt boxer.

[@joelmclamore1898]

What a rocket!😮

[@andrewmccrum1951]

class stuff!! sounds lethal, thon patton was going well!

[@robertskinner6487]

I was wondering what that big gage was then I realized that,s the tach it starts at 6000rpm

[@dutchsailor6620]

Kroeber tacho.

[@pippiperade4030]

Wasn't it that great Kiwi rider Kim Newcombe who unlocked the potential of the Konig engine?

[@undisturbednaturalworldd3102]

helmut koenig .swiss sidecarmotoace

[@stanilandgavin4834]

Kim Newcombe made the Konig what you see here He took it to second place in the 1973 500cc World Championship behind Phil Read

[@KathrynLiz1]

....and rank bad track design killed him, causing König to give up road racing....such a shame on both counts. Who knows how far both of them would have gone?

[@ChuckMarteau]

As well as 3-time Endurance World champion rider Christian Leon, of France, although he never completed a full GP season with it (no budget). He did win a few International races in France on board the Konig. He once told me that Kim Newcombe deserved a lot of credit for riding this bike so well.

[@lagerx61]

IT IS a König boat engine, from König Motorenbau Berlin.

[@Docv400]

Sounds great there, but it sounds much better from the spectator's viewpoint.

[@pliontis]

What's the top speed at the straight?

[@thorkilds1]

The best

[@masaki-ef8zt]

人間はどんなにしても１００生きられんけど、５０年前のレーサーがこんなに走るなんて🤪凄い

[@matthewwhite4008]

He's not hanging around is he

[@erikhuiskamp3701]

actually that patons are incredible fast for a fourstroke two cylinder vs a watercooled twostroke four cylinder........ and two times with passing them you came out of your "comfortzone".

[@neilmartin6704]

Think the circuit is in Belgium and sheene used too race there in the 1970s,a street circuit i think and dangerous as you can see .

[@motarder21]

Yes Belguim.

[@SebKap]

Wow 💪😈

[@GT380man]

Is this machine of a larger capacity than those he’s riding with? He’s eating them up like they’re short of a gear.

[@contaescolar4260]

eu assistindo o video e minha mulher perguntando se estou com dor no pescoço por balança-lo junto a pista.

[@urbanjunglerider9229]

Beautiful machine...who said kiwis cant fly?

[@lagerx61]

Was the green bike a paton?

[@rockitrockit8517]

I think it was too ... plus can you hear it behind I think the Konig may have woken him (or her) up!

[@jrice610]

Re counter starts at 6K; awesome

[@jumpfortyfour9965]

Great footage, is it you onboard Stuart?

[@stuartsharpin6536]

I wish! I merely supplied the camera and uploaded the footage, the rider is a talented young chap from Germany.

[@alainbarre7483]

Un avion

[@scottdolphin5803]

Ha ha!!! He passed 15 guys in one straight!!!!!!

[@the_keeponbuilding]

Boat engined?

[@fritzmueller1337]

Yes it is. It's an watercooled, four cylinder two stroke boxer motor from the berlin/germany based boat engine manufacturer König. Sry for my bad english. German is my mother tongue.

[@drummingriffin]
