There are a couple of radial engined bikes in the amazing Sammy Miller Museum. The place is well worth a look anyway but these two machines are quite remarkable - I almost walked past one before I noticed the odd piston arrangement. Neither are plane engines but the engineeering and latteral thinking is fantastic.

If you think the Torque steer from a boxer twin or Guzzy is bad, this would be horrendous!

Just revving it would have you on your ear! :-)

Oh, and you get cooked riding it too!
