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

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

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.
