a certain German must have been obsessed with the single cylinder design as he made it into the Guinness World Records with the largest single cylinder motorcycle and went on to defend his lead the first time this German re di France Langer achieved This Record was in 1998 with a 900 a 58cc engine based on an MSU machine not long after vet de cut took his title with a 1440 CC unit but passionate and stubborn Langer wanted his lead back during his search for suitable materials langa came across an engine he believed was from some kind of a tank it looked promising for his project and later during discussions with the famous piston company Mal it turned out to be an old unspecified aircraft radial engine it’s piston was too heavy but Mal was more than willing to [Music] help the project was based around an NSU console 500 in 1950s single on the for Rog motorcycle with the frame from NSU the suspension came from Moto boy and old highly donut wheels and the rest was pure fabrication the whole engine had to be modified and strengthened to fit the project goal langa aimed for a 2,000cc displacement which necessitated extensive fabrication work on the cylinder and piston the cylinder was elongated by 66 mm with 17 cooling fins of 3 mm thickness and 10 4 mm fins on the cylinder head the valves were operated by a shaft with coil and hair pin springs for closing and the cylinder had 14 bolts to the crank case the original piston weighed a massive 3.3 kg but Mal was able to half it down to 1670 G thanks to a light alloy measuring 146 mm in diameter the crank shift had to be built from scratch and with a 118 mm stroke it TI the scales at a staggering 34 kg the exhaust was a 75 mm straight pipe producing a remarkable thumping [Music] noise the final displacement was set to be 1989 CC giving a modest out of 80 horsepower we don’t know the operating RPM range or the peak torque figure so we cannot calculate either of these however by ear it definitely doesn’t R very high and without any balancing or damping equipment it really cannot in order to not destroy itself note that the Bison only has a Kickstarter after 3 years of hard work langus bison 2000 is Wily known known and regarded as the largest single motorcycle in the world to be fair it isn’t the last attempt for the biggest motorcycle ther as we may speak about this three L machine sometime later
