    I doubt you could even do a 1/4 mile on that. Impressive tho.

    If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!

    Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

    Just find some more info and images on the radial engined bike - http://thekneeslider.com/archives/20...ed-motorcycle/

    Here's another variation of the radial engined bike as well: http://thekneeslider.com/archives/20...-motorcycle-2/

    Rather surprisingly the engine only makes 110hp, kind of expected more. I guess though that there is a ton of torque given the 2800cc capacity. Engine specs - http://www.rotecradialengines.com/specs.htm

    Fuel consumption: Avgas 100LL or high octane mogas: 22 ltrs/hour @ 80% Power
    Now that is thirsty! What is curious here is the size of the tanks both these bikes have or more correctly the lack of size - they aren't going anywhere.

    Recommended TBO of 1000 hours. All engines come with a 12 month 200 hour warranty from date of purchase, whichever comes first
    I guess that TBO means Time Before Overhaul? Rather short life if that's the case.

    Totally impractical for everyday use but as a show bike they're both great.

    Thats a nice little collection, Bruff and an NR750 too - wonder how much all that little lots worth.
    I love the smell of twin V16's in the morning..

    Cool...

    Fuck me, I bet she twists when you open her up. I like the guy's (it must be a guy right) creativity, what happened to the rest of the plane?
