I don't like the style of the bike, but i love the engine.
If they had built it so it looke dstraight out the 20's it would really hit the spot.

There's a couple of these doing the rounds.
Again, I normally like the concept and the engines but the bikes are a bit dubious.

Wonder if any of them are the spinny roundy type radial engines? That's Jonny technical speak that is.

black8 thats the one that i'd seenpic of before. can't help but think it works better with the motor that way round aesthetically, and almost certainly from a cooling point of view. Wonder if a cafe racer style could be built...hmm...

Bet they both smoke like diesels when they are first fired up.
The bottom cylinder fill with oil at rest.

anyone got a cutaway drawing of the internals of one of those engines? I'm curious as to how they work. |
