Don't know if I'd ride it, but a nice looking bike never the less.

i don't see that as being a real motorcycle. first off, there's no frame holding that engine on, unless there's a HUGE metal plate on the right side, must be hotter then hell when sitting in traffic!!
looks cool though.....

Probably a stressed motor frame like the old Yamaha Viiragos. |

Nice for show, never be pracital though, prolly only get 10-15 miles on that peanut tank. You might also need hearing protection.  |

Those rear cylinders also have a hard time staying cool. Aircraft cowlings are very carefully designed.

In Theory, cooling issues, noise, and fuel capacity aside, what would something like this be capable of in the way of HP and torque?

Plenty of each if you could keep it running right. I don't know the displacement of this particular engine but the standard formula for calculating HP applies. I'm sure there's more info out there about it. Someone made one with the engine mounted transverse to the chassis specifically to keep it cooling consistently from cylinder to cylinder.  I'll bet it's awesome on a cold day. On a warm one??? |
