Bryan Wood Well Known Member May 9, 2006 #3 Radial motorcycle At first I asked why, but then the answer was clear. He couldn't afford the extra weight from installing a subie. (Couldn't resist, please be gentle)

I've been looking into this even before I started my RV9 several years ago. Notice the guy's shirt, it has a Rotec logo on the it. That scooter would make a way better engine stand at Oshkosh than just a generic engine stand.

Focus on the airplane. Airplane not done yet. You ever get the feeling you didn't know what you were supposed to do in life? And then, one day, lightning stuck and The Voice said: "Thou shall build motorcycles with radial engines and wreak havoc unto the world"

N941WR Legacy Member May 10, 2006 #12 I could have had a V8! 502 CUI, 502 HP, and 567 ft/lbs torque. Boss Hoss Cycles does make a "smaller" version if this is a bit over the top.
