  • 14.31 @ 91.6

  • awesome sound!!

  • @PX213

    It's not a rotary, but a radial: on a rotary, the cylinder turns (like the French "Gnome","Clerget" or "Le Rhone" ww1 aircraft engines).The consumption from this Rotec 2800 radial is ~18liters/hour on a aircraft...

  • @almighty93

    Yes but the power is 110hp, not 200...

  • Do these use a variable clutch like a snomobile?

  • I know nothing about rotary engines and their efficiency, but I'm surprised he made it to the end without running out of fuel after looking at the size of the fuel tank. Too cool though. Gorgeous bike.

  • JRL > Harley

  • Mr Negative (beeroosterm) so wheres your custom built ride so we can judge you handy work ?

  • @turtlemann14 yea, i am not a troll. i was simple stating that a Harley is a production bike just like all of the rest
