This one is a little strange - interesting. I wonder what the torque reaction is like?

I think you'll be floored by it.

Too much throttle, methinks and the bike would do a fairly good interpretation of a barrel roll... :wacko:

Heres some info on the bike, it's a Jesse James contraption, around 110Hp, shit knows how much torque though.

if you want a practical radial engine, that you don't need a gay-a55 chopper to fit, check out the MYT (tiny yet mighty)
850ci, 32 cylinder... about a million horsepower...
(if i recall, it's been the demise of many-a-dyno...)

Theres a red rotary engine chopper too but with the engine turned sidways (how they cool the rear cylinders? who knows.....) ubt a bit easier to get the primary drive sorted I guess
