Hello Stephen,

It was not the sole. Here, a radial installed in a more conventionnal manner :

Imagine the noise let alone the heat that would come off of those. Too cool looking though. "Q"

Those bikes are BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
I really can't wait to get my motorcycle license.

COOL , COOL , do the come with ear plugs ! very original .

LOL! I hate to say it, but I think both of them are hideous. Wonderfully built, but...

Kind of like the old R.R. Merlin-engined car - a nice idea, until you saw the result. It's just not where the engines belong.

All the best

I think theyre gorgeous. Alot better than some of those with the auto-engines installed

'fraid I'm with Rowan on this one. Fantastic workmanship and clever engineering but somehow it just don't seem right. Sort of like wearing brown shoes with a tux.

Steve

I still think that these bikes are cool and would make a great model . Now where did I put that spare engine ?????????

Me too. Also, on the transverse-mounted one, where are you meant to put your feet?

I have to agree with the sceptics too. They look cool, should sound ok but riding them? The torque on a normal Moto Guzzi LeMans is enough to shift the bike, so I can't imagine the twist in these when you open the throttle. Barrel roll, perhaps... ?

I would have to agree with the guy's on that as peck . They look like more on the lines of a show bike and wouldn't be all that practical to actually be riding . still very cool concept !

BEUTIFULLY hideous!! I am a fuddy-duddy who HATES the sound of a Harley(I like my peace and quiet)...so I can imagine how ANNOYING tthey would sound. I must agree that they are very beutiful and interesting bikes though
