Although an engine that big would be a bit difficult to work with. With no counterbalancer......I can imagine that thing shakes like crazy!

Posts: 5775 LYNCHBURG TN Gender:	Re: Purdyest Thumpers Ever (besides the Savage) Reply #50 - 08/30/17 at 09:59:48 So how big would the crank-shaft be on a Bison 2000 . ? I thought 650 cc is almost too big for ONE CYLINDER ... 500 seems about right . or a down tuned 650 !

For a motorcycle you are probably correct - the radial airplane engine had to make a lot of torque at low rpm so it could spin a 4 bladed propeller that was 18 feet in diameter!

As immense as the Bison 2,0000 is - it most probably is very slow....but given enough traction it might be able to pull a plow!

While the bike it's self I would not classify as pretty, It has some cool features such as the dual mufflers and center stand. Daelim Daystar, a Korean bike.
