Radial chopper to get big brother

JRL Cycles in the USA (where else?!), which built this wild radial-engined chopper about a year ago, is to try an even bigger version.

The one you see here is based on the Australian-built Rotec radial aircraft engine, which has seven cylinders displacing 2800cc.

Next step is the nine-cylinder Rotec R3600, which claims 150 horses versus the R2800's 100.

Watch this space...
