It's an interesting theory with f/c crank throws .Very popular during the glory days of 2 cycle go karts .I think the idea was to reduce the crankcase volume therefore increasing the transfer pressure .
The full circle cranks on Harley v twins was just to have the crank throws act as an internal flywheel plus it was much more simple to make .The actual design of that engine is a direct take off of a radial  aircraft engine except it only has two cylinders .
I have a theory the increased weight of the rotating mass with a full circle crank would some what increase the inertia mass regarding changing potential energy into kinetic  energy under load .--goes back to Newtons laws of physics .

One on right appears to be separating. The one on the left is scalloped "turbocrank" 70s bike tech that, well.... I've seen both. JMO, searching for big gains that aren't there. Carbs and porting is where it is at. Both are a 2fold.
