must get pretty warm with his legs right next to the exhaust collector ring,,, cool, though......

The torque on the engine might make it tough to ride.
Left turns might be good.

That is one of the coolest customs I've ever seen! I love the radial engine!

Kind of a waste afaic

I'm sure there is a very lonely biplane out there somewhere. Either that or a very underpowered one with a V Twin in the front.

Reminds me of a pic I saw once of a bike with a V Twin. Was the front 2 cylinders off of some monster marine engine or something. Engine was like 4 feet tall or so. Looked real awkward like this one but interesting engineering. I believe at the time it was touted as the largest displacement motorcycle du monde.

Cool Pic

It was bound to happen sooner or later. Whens the turbine model being released? OH Yeah, some racer guy already has one of thoes right? Races at drag events and such gatherings trying to out run a high powered airplane!

Geez and I thought model airplane guys were the only ones to overpower their machines!

Looks cool, but how does it ride?

Guess it's come full circle now after motorcycle engines got jammed into airframes, it was only a matter of time before an aircraft engine got crammed into a motorcycle.

Does Saito know about this?
