anannop, maybe not a motorbike, but a power assisted bicycle is possible. If you down load (its free), Andy Ross's book "Making Stirling Engines", you will see his attempt, he used his C 60 motor, it is 100 watts when pressurised, but as installed on the bike, it was unpressurised, and produced 50 watts.

Look up stirling engine powered boats on utube. That will give you some idea of what your dealing with.
