@HoGBerG95 Small Tank + BIIIG engine = Short rides (mostly to gas stations.... LOL) I wonder what the mileage on that thing really is. I love getting 50+ MPG on my bike, that thing has to get something in the range of 2. Amazing bike though, Amazing engine. I am sOOOOOOOOOOO jealous!

OK: i never say that the cooling, on a aircraft, isn't good, i know this type of engines: i'm a early aircraft mecanic, work on Wright R3350 18cyl dual cyclone turbo compound (Neptune P2V7 French Navy) and a bit knowledge from the SNECMA/Bristol Hercules 14 cyl sleeve valve engine (Noratlas 2501)... :-)

@oiseautempete keep in mind that a radial engine works excellently as an air cooled engine for the following reasons.
1.instead of 4 cylinders trying to create 110 horsepower. Much like the water cooled Rotax or AIR COOLED Jabiru 2200 (which has cooling problems), the R2800 spreads that power over 7 cylinders, not over 4. the engine is capable of producing much more power
2.optimal surface area for air cooling
So with the relatively low air flow on a bike compared to a plane it is not a concern
-
This engine is the Australian Rotec engine: he's VERY reliable...on a airplane! , but it was never think for installation in a bike, so the cooling isn't correct...
In the past the only bike built in numbers with a "radial" * engine was the German Megola (in 1922)
* in real the engine from the megola was a rotary direct drive install IN the forward wheel)

I've got approx 7,000 hrs of time with a radial on the nose of a machine. In that 7,000 hrs I have witnessed several catostophic failures of a radial.
Don't think I'd want one between my legs......LOL,
Sweet Bike though
