Somebody in England is producing a street version of the Supermono.

That.... Is friggin awesome!!  Were I a wealthy person, I'd order one with track bodywork and use it as a short track bike.  It'd be perfect!!
Catching a yellow-jacket in your shirt at seventy miles per hour can double your vocabulary. 

Only a biker knows why a dog sticks his head out of a car window.

That's pretty sexy.

And dangerous.  88hp and just under 300 pounds.

Damn.

Want.

I hate that this exists and I cannot afford it  :'(

I want, nay DESERVE, a 70+ HP, sub 300lbs sport bike. Preferably a single.

I own several motorcycles. I have owned lots of motorcycles. And have bolted and/or modified lots of crap to said motorcycles...

i was all excited.
then i saw it.

I'm not digging the headlights at all.

I'm thinking tho that if you had the time money and inclination and the skills and vision. And there are a few folks on here who obvously do.
You could build yourself a supermono for a fair bit less than $52000.

Holy sh#t!!! That is so cool!! If the economy wasn't so screwed up I'd run out and get a home equity loan for $52K!! [laugh] I can't even imagine how much fun that would be to ride. [moto] I wish Roland Sands would make one of his 450cc ex-MX bike road racers into something like this. Makes me wish I still had my '78 Yammyhammer SR500. [thumbsup]

I think the only way you're going to get that is going Supermoto. (which is why I just ordered an SXV 550)

MUST have one... but I want mine with a SSS of course!  (I know I can build it myself -- but my personal stuff never gets finished due to customer projects always interfering)
