Now that is KEWL, although I'm sure a tad hot to ride.

Looks like an R-2800 radial engine. I just hope it doesn't blow pushrods and leak oil like one!

Holy Yikes, how bout a pushrod right through the gut. I've seen enough holes in round cowlings to pass on this.
Sure looks cool.

I saw one once (photos) with the engine 90 degress different than this one. All I could think of was fighting the torque in a curve.

Actually, back in the old olden days, there was a motorcycle with a rotary (not radial) engine mounted to the front wheel. I wish I knew more about it.

Suzuki had a (Wankel) rotary engine bike in the early 70's. Nothing like these, though.

The R2800 is bigger than most hybrid subcompacts. That is not an R2800, which had 16 cylinders. - 8/16/08, 4:53 PM
