I know things like this probably makes your brain cells spin [moto]

Single tube frame, reverse clip ons - outside the box, isn't that what makes things evolve?

A penny for your thoughts.....

kinda hard to get an actual feel for the bike, the fish eye lens that took that picture kinds bends the image, for all we know its not as stubby as you think.

Looks very similar to the Aprilia that I saw there in '07. I'll try to find pics when I get home.

I've been pondering this a bit... you kind of need that very steep rake to offset your total lack of leverage with that bar set up.  From those pix, it seems like your hands are pretty much inline with the center of the fork tubes.  I guess that long pull back, um, thing, would give some leverage, maybe more than I think... but I still wonder what it's like to control.
