TMC DUMONT - Motorcycle with an Airplane Engine

This is the TMC DUMONT, which is a concept art motorcycle, designed and built by Retired F1 driver and designer Tarso Marques.

This ultra sleek, hubless wheel, motorcycle, is powered by an actual 300 hp, six-cylinder, Rolls-Royce Continental Aircraft Engine from 1960.

The TMC Dumont made its debut at the Daytona Bike Week in 2018, the most important customization event in the world, and won best in show out of 100 competing bikes.

The bike may be impractical for everyday use, but if we only ever create things that are practical, what’s the point of having an imagination and following a dream.

Thanks for watching

★★★ *FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE VIDEO / FACT UPDATES* ★★★

*1) What is the point of building a bike like that, it's a waste of time & money* - He is a professional motorbike designer & builder, and this bike won Best of Show at the biggest motorbike event, so he will now get loads of free marketing of his bike (like this video) and heaps of new business, as many more people will know of him and what he can make. So even if he spent $100k on building that bike, he could make that back ten fold, through free advertising and new business.

*2) Does the bike have any kind of suspension or is it a hardtail* - The bike does have suspension. Notice at 2:10 there are small air bags for the front and rear swing arms.

*3) The bike cannot turn corners* - Of course it can, he rides it to Bike Shows, he does not show it in the footage, but of course it can turn, the front wheel has 2 pivot points to turn the front wheel.

*4) it's too low to the ground, there is no ground clearance for speed bumps etc* - The bike does have airbag suspension, the bike might be able to be raised and lowered as needed by a push of a button, so in the video while riding on a flat road they lowered it for maximum coolness, but can raise it as needed. They do the same thing with cars on 'Fast N Loud' when showing them off.

The bike is wonderful. Even with a back massager. Lean back and have fun.

Back wheel is a serious problem. I'd rather not get caught or burned by the back wheel going 50mph.

1980s: We'll have flying cars in the future.

2020: A motorcycle with an airplane engine. Take it or leave it

[acedd]

Now do an airplane with a motorcycle engine and then we'd be talking.

[KoushikJoshi]

I can only imagine how one speed breaker can potentially destroy this motorcycle's entire career

[swaghettimemeballs]

I don't know man, it doesn't look safe sitting that close to the rear wheel.
Edit: Can we get 6969 likes LESSGOOOO.

WHY DIDNT HE JUST ADD A LIL COVER FOR THE BACK WHEEL FFS

[Game-The-System]

"The bike may be impractical..."

Yah think?!

[pawii]

It shoots dirt from the wheels into the moving part of an engine. Neat and futuristic >>

[destrokush]

"The back tire is only an inch behind him, he better be careful because the wheel will give a whole new meaning to the word skid marks"

[RazorF]

Beautiful words at the end, "If we only make things that are practical, then what is the point of having an imagination?" Thanks for the share!

[Jason-pexh]

I question the engineering intelligence of this bike if they cannot see what all of us see about the BACK WHEEL?!

[shantabratapaul]

Legend says he is still going straight..

[NickDe]

Looks like with those wheels and the suspension roughest terrain to run on is a bowling alley freshly resurfaced.

[ralphp]

Me: it's 1am - I'm going to bed

YouTube: That's a hard no. How about this batshit crazy bike?
Me: OK

[metal_mo]

"Rides it to every bike show". Yeah, after he trailers it to 2 blocks away.

[rushthezeppelin]

Everyone is asking how it turns. Meanwhile I'm here wondering how it
