Couldn't hold enough fuel to run for very long....strictly show, IMO.

That's not meant to denegrate the thought and work behind them, they are definitely cool.

Torque effect would be an absolute b1tch on that silver radial powered one.... You really wouldn't want to romp on the throttle hard!

oil drain down

Definitely a cool bike, but all for show I would think.

Those radial engines have to be turned over by hand after they set for awhile not to mention the bottom plug has to be taken out to allow the oil to drain from the cylinder to prevent hydraulic lock. Judging from the photo that must be a *****!

Stopping it could be a bit of a problem as well without a front brake

Came from here. I don't think you'll get a high-res without paying for it, but there's lots of cool images in there.
