420RR, Hero's stoner brothers channel.

HeroRR next project:
Rebuilding a y2k

[Gimpthulhu]

I vaguely remember Jay Leno telling a story about riding his Y2K. As he told it, he was waiting at a red light and the exhaust was putting out so much heat that when the car behind him creeped up too close, its front bumper got warped.

I got to see and hear one of these bikes in 2000. I was going to school at MMI in Phoenix and at the time only 2 of them had actually been produced, the one MTT brought to MMI for us to see and the one that Jay Leno owned. The sound of the engine spinning coming from a motorcycle is insane. Such a cool bike!

The output drive is centered around the swingarm pivot which means the chain tension never changes regardless of the swingarm position...Ideal!

[Frejborg]

Love these historical bike series, Hero.

Fun fact:


This is the only year in your life that the entire month of April will be 420

[MrNaknak]

"I hope you all have an amazing 2020"... yeah right

[michalklimek]

Tank you for this video. I never knew, that There were upgraded models after y2k. This beast is insane even today...

[RapideWombaticus]

Love it now... loved it when I first heard about it
Amazing

MTT Y2K not only lack of low-end torque due to very tall gearing, but also it's a natural design of turbine engine (or any mechanical device that involve turbine as main component) that has very pathetic efficiency in lower RPM a.k.a. designed to spin in specific RPM (usually almost as high as maximum RPM).

That's why Y2K also has ridiculously high horsepower for it's size.

Just a heads up, I noticed I hadn’t seen any notifications from your channel for a while, decided to check, and somehow, YouTube unsubbed me from your channel, as well as a few others. Not sure how, or why they might do that.

I had two of these go by when I was waiting in a drive thru, sounded like a plane was landing on the road.

[austinbarger]

You put a lot of work into these history videos and I love them. Keep them coming!

[souvikdas]

Been waiting for it...
Finally got it

[mrhogan]

Love these informative videos so much. Feel like I learn something every time and from someone that actually gives a shit about what they are doing.
Keep up the good work HeroRR and happy New year

[Yohann]

I can’t remember the year, if it was 98 or 99, I think it was 99. I was at the Dallas air show and heard what I thought was a small jet plane or helo starting up in the vendor display area. As I made my way to the noise it turns out that MTT had a Y2K bike on a bike chassis dyno so people could hear it run at full blast. I only managed to get a short video of the startup procedure (without the fuel) and of course it’s lost somewhere on 8mm. What a crazy bike.

[dingznthingz]

This was a great video on the Y2K. I would like to see a video of the MTT trike.

But little did they know September 11th 2001 would be a endless regime of terror.
