I'd need a periscope to drive that thing. :lol: Oh, and somebody would have to lend me a pair. :lol:

 

[Xodus]

Why? That is my question...

 

[scythefwd]

sure, just keep it at idle and you shouldn't have any problems keeping it under 100 mph

Who said a crusier can't compete with the crotch rockets. This proves for once and all LOUD pipes save lives :wink:

 

[GrymLocke]

hmm,
notice that there are NO pictures of anyone ACTUALLY MOUNTED on the darn thing, much less riding/piloting the wee-beasty?

eye candy & gearheader wet dream...but not ridable beyond the edge of the parking lot imho.

if you dought what I say, ask yourself this...would you ride it? on the track? how about across country?

A cruiser to compete with crotch rockets?

It doesn't have 1200 HP, but it has more than enough...

Geez... looks like you could stick some wings on it and make a trans-atlantic hop.

kinda novel, but what's the purpose?

Kinda novel, but what's the purpose?

I'm thinking that running over a pebble would cause the fork tubes to look like pretzles and I wonder how he hooks 1200 HP up to the road with one wheel and maybe 600-700 pounds on it? I also wonder about it's handling characteristics? I would like to see him try the slow speed box at the MSF training course with that bad boy!!

Also, He'd better hope the blower never comes off that baby or most likely he'll be in at least two pieces.

I've seen those Harleys with a small block, Boss Hogs or whatever they call them, and I thought they took the cake for uselessness........... I was wrong!

That was exactly the first thing I thought of when I looked at the bike. Looks as though his head will be right on top of it and if it goes it will likely take his head off.

I suppose it is an interesting exercise in engineering, but other than that and lugging it around to bike shows, I really cannot get into it.
