I believe I counted 6 exhaust pipes. I also looked at the chain saw bike. I think some of these people have to much time on their hands.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #353315 Blackroadie (User) Sometimes I wish you were a pinata !

I think some of these people have to much time on their hands.Radial engines come in banks of three, seven, and nine cylinders.18's are two banks of nine etc. I want a radial, or the Mazda rotary engine bike. I bet that would make a great 1/4 mile bike. The rotary engine gives you six power pulses per revolution of the crank shaft. That's a truck load of power. I had an 1973 RX3 station wagon and it could really move out. I don't know what the top speed was but I had it up to 135mph once. Made the trip to the hospital in time for my son to be born in the hospital. Some bike maker had a 650cc rotary engine but I can't remember who. Suzuki, Yamaha, I don't know. I think I might build a bike with the Mazda engine.   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/03/10 18:52 By ahamay.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #353362 3000 FPS (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 30 Re:Radial engine 1 Year, 2 Months ago   ahamay wrote: 3000 FPS wrote: That is pretty wild.

I did not realize that radial engines only came in odd numbers.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #353375 coot53 (User) E=Mc1700 Platinum Boarder Posts: 1153 Re:Radial engine 1 Year, 2 Months ago   ahamay wrote: 3000 FPS wrote: That is pretty wild.

It ran smooth as hell and I kinda laughed when I looked at the tach and saw what I considered rediculous numbers on it. I took it around the block to get the feel of it, then found a long straightaway and cranked into the throttle. I felt like a bucket of mush untill it hit it's power range and then Something like the kawi two stroke triples but even more exagerated. I changed my underwear and returned the bike and was quite happy with my piston engine after that. I think the were only made for a few years.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1828 Re:Radial engine 1 Year, 2 Months ago   I believe they had some major problems with the apex seals and the rotor body seal. Excessive oil consumption and over heating were some of the other issues. I want to use a full size RX7 engine. Even though it would not need it I want to put a gearbox and a hydraulic clutch on it.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #353416 Tug (User) ride free. live free. or die tryin Platinum Boarder Posts: 2972 Re:Radial engine 1 Year, 2 Months ago   ahamay please post pics when youre done i think it would be really neat   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
