I know things like this probably makes your brain cells spin [moto]
A penny for your thoughts.....

It's an interesting concept.  About 80% there and the remainder 20% needs refinement.  But then again I don't agree with many folks in terms of design language, fabrication or how things are built.  Stepping outside the "normal" in the motorcycle world isn't easy with everyones perceived ideas of what the ideal motorcycle is.  Glad to see it built though and being ridden.  Fabrication work looks pretty nice from the pictures.

If anyone has more pics -- please post.

So what's the pill looking thing  with the black clamp? It seems that the gas fill is up in that recess, so that pill's probably not gas.  It's got some tubing on it as a guage... though it looks dark - maybe oil tank? 

my guess was oil tank...

Ok everyone just stop. That thing is make the beast with two backsing stupid and we should all walk away and stop talking, looking or thinking about it now.
This place feels nice. Black S4RS, CRG Barend mirrors, vented clutch cover, gold clutch plate, gold pazzo racing levers, full 50m termi system, little carbon extras....oh yeah ...almost forgot....ban corporate coffee!

why would we do that?

I've never seen anything like that before and I think it rocks. I'd love to see more pics of it and of the build process...

Some pics I snapped of it at the 2008 International Moto Show in San Mateo CA.
Looked like it had a camera at the end of the seat pointing out the back.

Definitely weird (the responsible party should cut back on the LSD), but I'll give the guy an A for effort. Lots of pretty darn impressive fab work.  [thumbsup]

What's it powered by? Twin? Four? Coal? Steam?

I can see just enough of the engine case on the left side shot, under the ?oil tank? to recognize an Aprilia/Rotax V990 in there.
