A terrible way to waste a good aircraft engine.

That thought had crossed my mind too SC.

In the first pic .... don't think I'd wanna "goose-it" in a tight corner. But in reality it's only a "Show-Bike" .. note the absence of any brake on the front wheel. (also no brake lever on the right handlebar) so it ain't "street legal".

But the second might actually work better .... even though the centre of gravity would be higher, that may be off-set by the gyro-effect of the reciprocating mass.

I'll bet that either one would light-up the rear tire with no trouble at all.
