"The front and rear tires are both a monstrously huge 508 millimeters, and the engines are in the hubs of each wheel. Steering isn't by hand but by shoulder, since there aren't handlebars. Instead, there are shields that fit each arm like sleeves and have the ability to rotate around the bike's frame. The two foot pegs are set 3 1/2 feet apart on either side of the tank, which the rider lies on, belly down."

Looks like a sporty version of a boss hoss (this is not a compliment to either).
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

Dude, his cape flapping around that rear wheel is an OH & S issue for sure  :o

My Dad had that exact bike (200cc) and I had the 80cc.  I learned how to shift with a clutch on the 200.

Meh-mories.

which reminds me of last weekend when i rode behind an orange boss hoss motorcycle and baby blue antique chevy styled rear end trike last weekend at the Austin, TX R.O.T. rally.

I can't find 1 reason to like those things either.

the bat bike on the other hand would be fun for about a day though....  which in turn reminds me of the Can-Am Spyder's I saw at the local honda dealer last week...

but i digress

I'll go ahead and offer the dissenting opinion: I would rock that in a heartbeat. It just looks like it would be so much fun to ride! Talk about an attention getter, and something that you don't see every day.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.
