I couldn't find the original post about the history to put this under but I found a video going through its history.

Particularly cool is the electric motors used to spin up the gasoline motors without any gasoline...

It isnt called a starter motor for nothing.


EDIT: You didn't describe that well Cyber, shame on you making me look like a fool

Obviously you didn't watch the videos -- the engines get hooked to a big industrial (electric) motor directly and spun up to full speed to check compression and operation of secondary systems (oil pump pressure, etc) before the bike is completed and a long before the the bike is fired up for the first time under it's own power. I thought that was cool...
