Motor Bike to Gyro
 
Hello,

I seen this on youtube and have been inspired:

Incredible Flying Motor Bike... - YouTube

My vision is to make a flying motorbike that can be converted to a flying machine by bolting on some attachments then back to motorbike easily.

I know it has been done as i seen that motorbike gyro that was made but to me, it has so much modifications that it is really just a typical gyro and almost not a motorbike.

A few questions about it to see if it is even feasible or if i should just forget this crazy thought :P

Does it absolutely have to be a trike or a quad? How hard would it be to land and take off with 2 wheels?

Is a motorcycle engine capable of running a propeller? Would you just use first gear? Or is it ok to change gears while your flying :P

Could a 250cc dirtbike like the yamaha ttr250 generate enough power? Or is a bike engine required?

Thanks :P

Nah, but that is really nice.

It was this one: Flying motorcycle - YouTube

Hate the new stroy though, no idea how he can patent an autogyro as an original invention.

Anyway, i was thinking, how bought an auto gyro frame that the bike just slides into?

My question really is, can a motorbike engine pwer a propeller to generate enough thrust for all that weight?

My weight - 180lbs
bike wet weight - 200lbs
gyro stuff probably another 100-200lbs

Anything is possible with enough money. Some bikes make 200 HP (Turbo Hayabusa).

just get a Bmw S1000RR and call it a day, that already flies.
