Nembo Super 32 - bike with upside down engine

Doesn't look very comfortable but it's a cool design. Lots of billet & carbon fiber.

what the hell kind of link is that? I ain't clicking that...

 

It's a link shortening service. Useful for rickrolling people.

 

I'm down with the RickRoll! But that looks like every spam e-mail I get with a link to a trojen and malware. If I can't verify where my browser is taking me, I'll just pass...

 

Neat project. Doesn't look very useful but certainly nice as a piece of machine art.

 

And yeah, you do run a risk of getting redirected somewhere not nice. Gotta just trust the person linking you, really :/

 

Nifty neato but what's the benefits?

 

is it me or does the thing look top heavy and the muffler pipe will drag?

 

I still don't understand why every motorcycle mfgr doesn't put the intake tract in teh front and the exhaust out the rear. Seems it would be a more efficient way to design the top end.

 

Pipe length optimizations would be my guess. The shorter your pipe length, the higher rpm its "peak" is. For a peak at 15k rpm, you need a pipe that's about four and a half feet long. If the exhaust were at the rear, you'd have a max pipe length of maybe 2'.. meaning a power peak at ~30k rpm.

 

They have. Yamaha TZR reverse cylinders is one that comes to mind. I remember MV Augusta looking at doing it as well.

 

what about the oil... its all going straight to the head and no where near the crank... hell if you ride a wheelie long enough with out oil getting to the pick up... boom... and second if you managed to figure out the oil problem... if you can figure out how to beat gravity... (good luck it kicks my ass every time I try lol) why would you use a carb... just go with FI... o well I'm done criticizing lol looks cool though.

 

Last time my bikes engine was upside down it smoked an awful lot.

 

Looks like somebody took a hit off Erik Buell's bong!

 

Neat design exersize, but I don't get it either. Rotating engine parts even higher up? No thanks.

 

Fugly

You guys musta went to some kinda niceness seminar over the holidays!
Looks exactly like what a team of engineers would come up with if given (literally) the funds by some 1/2 brain tweaked, son of a billionaire, with the design theme of "make it look unlike anything else out there".
I'm sure folks are lining up as we speak...

 

All that custom milling and fabrication and they leave a Caliper Mount hanging empty on the right... Blingtastic...

 

I just looked at it again and had the same thought! Tailsection is too small too. F*ck it, it's fugly. It's way better than anything it could do, but still.... c'mon.

 

Well, they aren't actually riding it in any of the pics. Maybe they haven't figured out how to make it work yet...
