In point of fact,
The engine of that bike is not old, its an Australian made 7
cylinder, 110HP Rotec R2800 Radial.
Heres a link to the engine:

Check he

some vids of the bike running.

Didn't know there were such things being built today, I thought it
was maybe a 1930s engine or something like that. What are these
things used for, aerobatic aircraft and the like? I don't follow the
aircraft industry at all but I can't remember ever seeing a modern
general aircraft plane with a radial engine these days.
