@@SGTDuckButter Wait for the next video, perhaps Allen will be kind enough to fill us in. I'd guess it's some sort of method by which unburned fuel is allowed to find its way into the exhaust and is ignited there by the heat of the pipe, or perhaps a deliberate mis-timing, or both. Terrifically mischievous device at any rate. It puts me in mind of the "bang-bang" anti-lag systems used by some rally cars to keep their turbos spinning - I have a clever mate who researched how it was done and built a home made version of the same thing on his turbo Lancer some years back. He did it for fun more than anything, although he claimed it did actually work at reducing turbo lag as well. The crackling and popping and banging sounded wicked. One unexpected and unfortunate result was that it quickly destroyed the exhaust system! The dump pipe and pre cat length of pipe did not handle continual fuel detonations for very long, and nor did the cat. It was ridiculous fun, although his neighbours must surely not have agreed. We certainly heard him coming, that's for sure. Hopefully Allen has engineered a way around the exhaust system destruction. Like you I'd be very interested to know how exactly he's done it, especially given it has no turbo.

Allen there's too many things about the Viper V10 bike to mention, the ratchet stand, the forks, brakes and soforth, suffice to say it is a masterpiece of thought and engineering you can be very proud of, I would imagine it's capable of scaring even the most experienced of motorcycle testers with its brute force and weight.

Is it me or does the clutch housing take up far more forces then normal? in the car it would mainly counteract with rotational forces. But because you fitted the rear swingarm to it now also deals with pulling and pushing forces. As an example under hard acceleration the counteract forces from the wheel with the swingarm would want rip the clutch housing from the engine and drive it in the ground. Not sure how it can handle that kind stress.

@AllenMillyard3 жыл бұрын
It did 207mph in 2009 using around half throttle. I think it would pull 220mph if I tried
