Please note there is no "high side" on this bike.

It are round. It will roll many times.

Worse, if high sided in the direction of engine rotation,

it might never stop...

I wonder if the bike has a tendency to counter-rotate. The engine mounted on

anything else would have a wide, stable stance. The bike, not so much.

.

yup. BMW and Guzzi will rock when shifting.

Actually have to be careful shifting in corners.

But only if being aggressive.

^^ 7 cylinder radial engine. Both 7 cylinder and 9 cylinder were popular for overall size.

The Wasp engine was everywhere with 9 cylinders, and double that with two banks of 18 total.

F4U Corsair and F4 Hellcat both used the Double Wasp 18 cylinder engine.

 

Single banks were 5, 7, 9, etc. It has to be an odd number in each cylinder bank to work.
