Rotary?
Norton did a few of these, the English Police used them for a while.

Wouldn't that be a radial motor, not a rotary? :) Rotary motors come
in Mazdas, although that would also be an interesting motor for a
custom bike project.
I admire that because it is truly custom, not a standard cruiser
drivetrain that's just called "custom". I agree that it is not
practical, but I'd have a lot more respect for the "custom" bike
segment if more of their projects were more unique. None of them are
intended to be practical anyway.
