Looks like something you'd see on the tv show - "Super Bikes".

I'm over 40 and still don't see any appeal in an overweight, fully faired cruiser wannabee, rapper blinged out POS.
I have better ways to spend my time and money.

I saw a guy at a light on a stretched 'busa. He was about my body style (which is athletic bordering on "you eat how much and look like that???") and going squidly that day (the Timberlands he wore were the heaviest clothing article).

Light went green and he ripped the throttle (like I was gonna race him). It was like watching the Enterprise enter warp from Star Trek. He sorta... elongated ... The bike took off but he sorta stretched out before he started following it...

Guess that explains why the rear went loose and sent his lower tentacles flapping around for a few seconds. I decided at that point I'd never own one. If someone gave me one brand new, I'd sell it and buy 2 CBRs if I could.

i read an article about this bike in a streetbike magazine. they guy actually drives it, though not very much. and he said it actually turns better than u would think, which still isn't much! but he just wanted to see if he could do it is mainly why he built it.
