Yeah it does look funny - but it has to be big and at that angle because it's feeding the charger. It would have been sweet if he could have routed the charge pipe to the charger up and over the headers.... then again, that thing pulls hard and fast enough to where no one notices it...

I saw a picture of it (just the motor) in an article about "interesting" engine concepts for motorcycles a long time ago.
I had no idea the guy actually finished it though! See that's the thing. Imagining it is only 10% of finishing it. I can't imagine all of design process. You have to have an oil pump system that can: 1) pump oil to all of that motor and 2) can account for half of the motor never intending to be in that orientation - and that's just the oil. Nevermind the crankshaft... or engine timing or finding someone to make the bottom case (can you imagine what that cost?)....
And that's just the motor, not even putting it in a frame and getting it to roll on it's own. That thing is really impressive.
I can't imagine hearing that thing in person. Great find on those vids, Splash! I thought a motor that big would look weird in a motorcycle and/or be bulky, but it doesn't look out of place at all in my opinion.
