Very cool.
That things got a radial engine in it. Blip the throttle and pray you have strong legs.

edit: I linked to the Demon that was shown on that site but the pic keeps dropping out here. As for the radial bike? not so much.... :P
Thanks for the great read!
Back in the day when Super Force was on TV I remember thinking that the bike that the guy used to ride was really cool too:

Where do you see that?.....looks like a twin
Ah....I was looking at the Aprilia RAM
So how does the radial engine drive the rear?

The one that I posted above is definitely a radial 6 cylinder.
Check out the French bikes! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voxan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voxan)
I'd never heard of 'em. Some very nice stuff.

I would assume it runs on a drive shaft. Oh, and
WANT! I'm normally a fan of very minimalistic exhaust but those cans actually work to balance out the rear end of the bike. I dig it, and like or dislike, it's some fine design work. I wonder what kind of lean clearance they would get on the lower two cylinders.

I like the look of the radial engine, but the exhaust looks aweful....it reminds me of the stockings like Elvira Mistress of the Dark would wear! :-\

It looks like a dung beetle! LOL All it's missing is a big ball of turd behind it.

I dont know about the exhaust, but too much tail chop going on. Instead of shaft drive hydraulic motor drive would be different. probably too much fluid to carry around though unless you shared it with the engine maybe. Meh it's a thought. sounds like more trouble / weight than its worth.
From what I can tell there is no final drive at all, and the exhaust is not supported by anything. Front suspension looks very weird too.
But it's just a drawing. ;)
