Radial motorcycle
At first I asked why, but then the answer was clear. He couldn't afford the extra weight from installing a subie.

Let's see; a couple more beers than the one already sitting behind him, a pair of loose pants legs...
Yup, I can see his left leg getting wrapped up in that belt tightern' a overhead garage door spring.

That is WICKED COOL!
...and this is the plane the engine is planned for:
Personally, I would like to see it fitted onto a mini version of the Hughes H1 Racer!!!

I've been looking into this even before I started my RV9 several years ago.
Notice the guy's shirt, it has a Rotec logo on the it. That scooter would make a way better engine stand at Oshkosh than just a generic engine stand.

OK, OK. Remain calm... Focus on the airplane. Airplane not done yet.
You ever get the feeling you didn't know what you were supposed to do in life? And then, one day, lightning stuck and The Voice said:

I could have had a V8!
502 CUI, 502 HP, and 567 ft/lbs torque. Boss Hoss Cycles does make a "smaller" version if this is a bit over the top.
