Don't lose any sleep over it.
Agreed. At a show I'll walk by many sbc or sbf's but stop at a nailhead or the occasional Wayne head 6 . That straight 8 Buick Johnny showed on another thread is way cool.
Ford 300 six makes over 800 HP. How long will it live?
Damn that's a good looking motor
Looks like a twin row radial. I can’t see any valve train so I’d guess 2 stroke.This, apparently is a TEN cylinder engine, I guess you'd call it a Radial, but I'm used to see radials standing up, attached to the front of an airplane........

I went digging to see what the word Bistella means, if you assume it's Italian, it means bi-star ?
Anyways, when I did another search to see if I could actually verify the origin of the word. That search brought up an article on the very motorcycle in question.
**Link to that article below, and spoiler alert, it's also supercharged!!
Bistella 500 boasts DIY 10-cylinder supercharged radial engine in a Jawa frame
Started building it in his 20's and is taking it out for its maiden voyage.Motorcycle with Lamborghini Espada V12 engine, helmet was apparently beyond the budget
Would have to be. Radial engines are odd number cylinders so to have 10, you would have to have two rows of 5.
