.....It's in James' personal shop/office, though, that we ran across his latest and most outrageous motorcycle, a whack-job chariot powered by an Australian-built seven-cylinder Rotec 2800 radial aircraft engine, basically a scaled-down 172-cubic-inch (2800cc) version of a WWII Wright Cyclone producing a claimed 110 hp. Gone is the prop, and power makes its way from the crank to a 90-degree take-off that drives a belt pulley attached to the clutch/transmission. Final drive is by chain on the right side. Torque reaction should be, shall we say, interesting…

Sweet looking but has to be the dumbest thing ever. (just my opinion)

I think you need a boot full of rudder to keep that thing pointing straight ... oh wait ...

This is the finished product, it's nothing short of a work of art. The Asian babe isn't too hard on the eyes either.
