    I've never heard one of these running.
    Google it if you don't know what is so special about these contraptions.

    I wonder how close that is to the R1 cross plane engine? I love how smooth the NR sounds!

    Strange that it has the exotic layout of the rods sharing the crank pin throws too.
    One cylinder on the power stroke as the other is on the compression? Or is it on the exhaust stroke?

    Have to see the camshafts to figure that out.

    Sounds awesome BTW. Thanks for sharing Simmy.
