Is that a real bike or a computer rendering? It doesn't quite look real.... How much does one of those radials weigh?
And there's more than one way to orient the engine: Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I would say the weight distribution would be better on the radial engine mounted longitudinally but the cooling would be better on the transverse mounted radial.
Yeah... I have seen those bikes. The first picture of the radial engine bike looked heavy processed in photoshop and I wasn't sure if it was real or not. The drive belt on that thing seems crazy dangerous to me.
The same bike in the first picture of post #5 I think I would feel better with a toothed blower belt about 6" wide, with a guard.
Yeah, I remember that one. Love the flames when he revs it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEKyu5xN6ik&feature=related
Not quite as glamorous as a radial, this one has turboshaft instead. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
That's a cool one. I saw the vid and the sound is so awesome. When starting it reminded me of an F-15
