0:38 For all non German speakers, that's a bit of a mixup. Werner Dienstkrad is not a person. Werner is a cartoon character and the motorcycle shown is called "Satte-Liter-Schüssel", which is a wordplay on its big displacement of 1440cc and the German word for satellite bowl. The engine and the wheels came from a Deutz tractor, the gearbox was taken from a Harley Davidson. The rest is custom made, most notably the forks that were made from two solid pieces of ash wood. The fuel tank is part of the handlebar. Creator of this contraption is Andi Feldmann, brother of cartoonist Rötger "Brösel" Feldmann, who had previously designed the bike as his comic books' main character's "Dienstkrad" or "service motorcycle"

If he's German, I'm surprised he didn't just squash an old Lanz Buldog engine with all 4.8 litres in one cylinder into the frame!

We used to call the old 500cc dirt bikes thumpers. This one is the new THUMPER.

[satanssurfer]

It actually fired at every lamppost, very cool.

[alrecks]

i want a thumper
*CB400SS & SR400 appears*
i said the real thumper
*DR800S also appears*
i said, *the real thumper*
*this bike appears*
Perfection

[zonie]

That is crazy ! Vibration would rattle your fillings loose !

[blxx]

I‘m sitting on the toilet right now and produced exactly the same sound as the motorcycle in the beginning of the video.

An Australian named Lucky Kaiser made a 5000cc supercharged V-twin by cutting two cylinders off a Roll Royce Merlin.
There are YT videos featuring it.

[Snow-tkzv]

That kick starter can sure break bones!!

[kosta]

I love the ridiculousness of builds like this one. It transforms into pure awesomeness as soon as you hear it go!

[BjarneLinetsky]

Maico, a small German company, makes a 500 cc single cylinder dirt bike. Hand made to order. I rode one in the early seventies and it was like riding a stick of dynamite.

[kevinavillain]

Because of my background I became aware of the BISON somewhere between 4 and 6 years absolutely loved his ingenuity. Now I need to build a high revving 2300 CC 😬🙀

[calysagora]

This is cool, especially given the age it was built in. Almost as mind-blowing as Allen Millyard's 5 liter V-twin motorcycle, that also is good looking, fully road worthy and usable.

[isaacwhite]

brings back memories of when I had a yamaha TT500 single cylinder motorcycle, it had all kinds of power.

[georgela]

They might be called thumpers, but, my 1980 Honda dual sport with a wiseco 10.5/1 piston has been clocked, with street gears, at 105 with off road tires. It even handles in the mountains. A very nice bike.

[williamdejeffrio]

Always excellent at digging up incredibly interesting stories...

[ATomRileyA]

Chassis must be made of vibranium to absorb the vibration haha. What a great thing.

[bremms]

The Flying Milliard is a 5 liter twin. Notable as well. Not a single, but a larger cylinder displacement.

[rickh]

There is no replacement for displacement. Well done Sir. It sounds amazing. That sidecar could be used as a very large fuel tank.

The Suzuki DR800S is a 779 cc single-cylinder dual-sport motorcycle made by Suzuki from 1990 to 1999.
