This video focusses on the man behind a bike from the Heavyweight champions video I will link at the end. It is a tribute to a man who followed his dream and created a lasting legacy in the Motorcycle Industry.
That Bike was the Münch Mammutc, and this tells the Journey from the first 1000cc Mammut, to the final Münch Mammut 2000.
In the annals of motorcycle history, not many names command as much reverence and awe as that of the visionary designer and engineer Friedel Münch.
Few machines have commanded as much reverence and intrigue as the Münch Mammut. This two-wheeled colossus, born from the genius mind of Münch, defied convention and pushed the boundaries of what was possible on two wheels.

In the 1980's I owned a Munch TTS Mammoth in Australia (one of only 4 in the country). It was a fantastic bike that I had yearned for since seeing a pair of them at The Melbourrne Motor show in 1973. It was a comfortable tourer and I often rode it on long runs. Mine had the single Yammaha headlight and mechanical fuel injection. Everywhere it went drew a crowd. One of life's joys. Thank you for the video, it was lovely to see so many of these bikes.

I first saw photos of the Munch Mammoth 4 in 1971 when a friend had a motorcycle magazine that featured an article about the bike. My friends and I never forgot the article and always talked about the German hand-made bike powered by an automobile engine. The photo in this video of Munch riding a wheelie on an early Mammoth still stirred my imagination. I always wanted to purchase a Mammoth, but I fear I never could afford one.

What an amazing range of bikes. Built by a brilliant and uncompromising engineer. My husband could just get his feet on the floor in bike boots with the 30" height saddle. However, he would only ride it for about 5 minutes before he had to stop and change his underwear. Lovely to see them still going and owned by people who appreciate great engineering and craftsmanship. A 2L turbo engine with 276HP in a bike is nuts, but wow!!

Very interesting video. I had no idea that Friedel Munch made so many different models. Back in the day (70s & 80s), Bob Hamilton of Motorcycles Unlimited in Hialeah, Florida had a Munch Mammoth in racing trim that he kept under a sheet in the back of his shop. He was a motocross and road-racer from the 60s and ran a motocross shop that catered to the European machines before the Japanese takeover of the sport. He eventually transferred the business to my brother and later, I went to work for John Long of Longevity Racing in Miami. While working for John, I got bit by the roadracing bug ( I had been bitten in my teens by the motocross bug, but had since quit racing for a few years) and long story short, John's friend Pogo bought Hamilton's Munch Mammoth. He and John built a rear-wheel rolling starter for it after we all wore ourselves out a few times trying to push-start the machine at Moroso Motorsports Park of West Palm Beach. I was told it had a French Peugeot motor in it, but that's all I knew. However, once started, it was LOUD with open megaphones and sounded great. Pogo only rode it in the old man's class as far as I remember and wasn't trying to compete with anyone. He just enjoyed having and showing the bike at the track, a machine that few knew about and less ever beheld. After I parted ways with Long's Cycle I never heard anymore about the Munch and have no idea what became of it.

I never did understand as a boy that my mom didn't buy such a bike. Hey, in the end it was just her and me, she had the license for riding bikes and a münch cost only 2 years wages of her job as factory worker.... Meanwhile, some 50+ years later, I ride what I call the "modern" interpretation of the Münch, a VMax1700. Anyway, it is clear to see where Honda got their idea for the 750 from. Seen from that, Münch holds lots of credits that modern bikes still exists. By the late 60s, bikes were for poor man's only. It was the CB750 (inspired by the Münch) who made bikes desirable again.

If you hadn't shown this I might have never heard of it? Doubt I'd ever come across one in the States but now that I've seen it I'll know on that off chance I do see one. If I do I think I'll try to get it b/c someone would want it. People collect & throw stuff in barns just waiting for the discovery, we used to own an Antique & Restoration Company so we went out finding things. One of the greatest was a Hall Tree from a large Hotel but it was in boxes. It took us 4 months to build & it was almost 14 feet high by 9 foot wide & 3 1/2 feet thick(wall to front edge). The Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC wanted us to donate it to them but we kept it & sold it later. When we were out in these places I passed up a number of old cars/bikes & machines. No telling what I let go by me & I could afford to buy stuff back then..... go figure, today I struggle on the dream of riding a motorcycle again before I die.... trying to make it happen & you are part of my driving force. Thanks for that, peace

I am from the era when the original Mammut was first introduced. I rode a Yamaha YDS5E at the time and actually did know a guy who owned one. I also owned a NSU 1000, the car that donated its engine to the Mammut (I'm from Europe). Everyone considered it a very heavy bike at the time. Around 300 kg is nothing special for a big tourer these days and a Wing is even heavier. It was a masterpiece of engineering. Real Teutonic styling which did not make it attractive to look at. At the price it had, it never would be competitive. If you had the money and wanted a big tourer in those days a V7 Special or a R75/5 was probably a better choice. I do not care for the later Mammuts, totally overdone and utter useless in my view.
