"I always thought a superbike motor would make a great ultralight airplane engine."

Oddly enough, I found a site that has workable plans for powering a gyrocopter with a Triumph motorcycle engine. While I don't know torque and powerbands well enough on sportbikes, it would be simple to substitute any solid motorcycle engine into such a design. Trumpys were dead simple.
