I wouldn't say pretty. I'd say scary would be more like it!

Unfortunately the Bison 2000 had a good machinist/mechanic build the engine - but the frame/wheels/seat proportions are a disaster.
Although an engine that big would be a bit difficult to work with.
With no counterbalancer......I can imagine that thing shakes like crazy!

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!

Saw a docu on Mack trucks.
they showed a diesel being started. primed each cylinder with a squirt. put the hand crank on even with the bumper, put his foot on it and gave it a shove and it started right up.

W650 is pretty, alright but it's not a thumper.

One I came across on vacation in Germany. 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.
