Back in the 1970s a guy named "Gunthier Schier" worked for a small motorcycle company known as "Maicowerk AG" or "Maico".  Most notibly, he invented the Maico Radial Head

Well, what's he up to these days?  Well, he has his own company called "Schier Technik" (Link Below)

Well, looks like even he likes to mess around with a 1983 Maico engine design.

Pretty cool, both rotary and reed-valved versions.  How fast would that motor be on a light street bike?

The Maico Triple:

that Maico Triple gets my vote for coolest, most bad assed bike ever!!

I think it would have some handling trouble.  Part because of weight and balance, but mostly because as soon as you lean into a turn, you'll find yourself with a big radial-fin anchor digging into the track.  But as a drag bike / wimp repellent, there could be nothing better.

Side car racing or hill climbing would work for that Maico triple cylinder set up
