Kind of interesting to say the least.  But I can't think that the big radial can stay cool for very long unless you are running right down the highway with it.
Perhaps another more vintage solution would be this:

which had already been done on an Automobile!

I wonder what would happen if the gyroscopic forces of a rotary engine were applied in a motorcycle frame?
