Is it just me, or does this bike look awesome?

Read about it in a Swedish bike mag a couple of months ago and stumbled upon it again..
Lots of mods and goodies on that bike! + they make and sell the body parts

 

[Sonreir]

Yup. Just you.

 

[kraptastic k]

^^ nailed it

 

[Ringo]

Love it! Not a fan of the color, but the execution is perfect! I wish the big bike blogs would show more of this kind of stuff. I'm getting sick to death of wrenchmonkees/classified type brat crap.

I like the white number in the background better.

 

[DesmoBro]

which one the little asian girl?
Or the slim shady wannabe china man?(with pony tail)

 

[VonYinzer]

I'd ride it, and the white number in the background.

 

[AlphaDogChoppers]

It's just you.

I think I would be embarrassed to be seen on that bike.

 

[VonYinzer]

It's just you.

I think I would be embarrassed to be seen on that bike.

Why?

 

[Rich Ard]

If you were riding that thing at such a speed that your face was visible you'd be doing it wrong. Looks like fun to me as well - the cutout in the fairing is a bit odd, though.

 

[AlphaDogChoppers]

Why?

No place to put my gut, fer fuck sake!

 

[1slowkayzee]

You sir.....are crazy. If that thing were given to me I would hide it until it could be donated to some poor unfortunate soul.

 

[Hoofhearted]

I'm old. To me it looks like a standard UJM with an odd paint scheme.

 

[Scruffy]

Every time I see a "plastic fantastic" the first thing that comes to mind is "Where did I stash that old UJM four spec Amen chopper frame, because that would be a perfect engine donor".

I can appreciate the track dedicated engineering that goes into a well executed race bike. I realize that I'm old (40) and biased against the style based on the stupidity displayed by the average sport bike rider. And by how painful the style is to actually ride (degenerative joint and disc disease).

If that is what trips the rider's trigger, more power to him. Better him than me...

That thing looks like a freaking blast! (And a death sentence) but mostly a BLAST

Translation? Not all of us speak metric, even though it is the world standard... Horsepower and torque specs?

And I'd rather have the SOHC trike. Much more interesting visually...

I think I like this one better

I want this to commute to work in the winter, then switch tires to Dual sport rubber and ride it across NA on all dirt roads
