Might have a few problems getting this bike registered for Australian roads, but plenty of less extravagant but still eye-boggling bikes that you could.

But, where’s the drip tray?
Radial engines drip oil.
If your round engine isn’t showing slow drip of oil, then you need to investigate.
The kick-starter is a tad optimistic as well.

Yes, i had similar thoughts.
Hey…you don’t reckon this could be…a…a…fake?! (Saints preserve us!)

The bike is certainly real – I’ve seen a few radial-powered bike over the years – but there’s simply no way you could ever kick-start one. So yeah the kick-starter may well be fake.

it’s a show bike, meant for showing at bike shows. Doesn’t need to work.

Oh, so it is bullshit. A glorified door-stop.
Like ‘steampunk’ stuff. Just glue a lot of non-functional crap onto a frame, and kid yourself that it looks cool.
‘Wouldn’t it be great if all this stuff actually did something? Huh? Wouldn’t it?’

I meant the kickstarter. The whole bike is (sort of) expected to work.
I like the protection around the supercharger belt given to the rider (not).

The other bikes do work and are commercial. There are around 70 of them photographed and some are very impressive. Well worth a look.

Less extravagant but still eye-boggling like these ten? Number 8 is radial.
(I don’t understand the comma placement in the prices quoted)
