A 1400cc Superbike? In 1978?
In 1968, the Honda CB750 changed the world. But just ten years later, in a quiet corner of West Germany, Friedl Münch was brewing something much, much bigger. Meet the Horex 1400TI: A 1400cc, fuel-injected, turbocharged straight-four monster that produced a staggering 140bhp. In an era where 70hp was considered 'super', this bike was a brutalist masterpiece that literally made eyes pop. In this video, we dive into the history of Friedl Münch, his legendary "Mammut," and how the Horex 1400TI nearly redefined the 'Arnie class' of motorcycles before a 100bhp ban stepped in the way. In this video: The transition from the world’s first superbike to the 'Monster Megabike'. Who was Friedl Münch? The engineer behind the madness. The NSU Prinz engine and the tech behind the 'TI' (Turbo & Injected). Why only three of these 150mph behemoths were ever sold. How modern bikes compare to the 'dinosaurs' of 1978.
