That does sound magnificent.

@ciprianotattoo A radial engine, is any that had the cylinders arranged like spokes, around a single throw of the crankshaft. There may be more than one throw and more than one bank of cylinders. On a 'rotary' radial, the crank bolts to the airframe and the cylinders spin with the prop. That went out of favour by the end of WW1. The thing we call a 'rotary' engine today is a bit different.

That's what i call throttle response! good job. amazing bike!

@yamahonkawazuki your right, the proplem with radial engines is when they´r mounted on airplanes and turns with the blades... then it afects the plain turning capability...old planes...

@ciprianotattoo seemed to have turned to get back into teh shop though. or was i seeing things?
-
but the spin effect won´t let you turn...

Yes, it's Rotec's 7-cylinder engine. A 9-cylinder version is available as well. Thanks for posting.

yamahonkawazuki this prototype is for sale @ $149,900. Of the 7 total to be built there are only two remaining slots to sell. The #6 will sell for $119K and the #7 is going for $156K. Mines the #1 production bike and it's NOT for sale. LOL
