'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.

http://www.rotecradialengines.com/

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.
