'kin 'ell! Thats a Stearman and I seem to recall the engine was around 350 hp! Would hate to try to get the thing round a left hander while accelerating though. The torque reaction would spit you off the other side of the road!

You can get the engine in the bike here.

Made in Australia for 7/8 scale replica WW1 planes etc. Not quite as big as the one in the Stearman, only 110bhp for the 7 cylinder version.

It probably won't harm the Harley handling characteristics though. ;)
