There is no doubt that the guy has a good imagination and/or dealer, and the skills to put it all in to practice, but why all the effort for something that would be scary to ride, and I don't mean Hayabusa turbo type scary, I mean 'oh fuck I'm going to die type scary'.
24 degrees rake and 100m of trail, coupled with a 16" wheel and no steering damper[:0]
How many of you on here could honestly say they would like to ride it? I mean properly ride it for a few hundred k's, around corners n stuff, not a quick 5 minute run round the block.
I would much rather ride that bobbed R6 abomination that was bagged by everyone on here than that.
Maybe I just don't get it, but why not put that same amount of skill effort in to something that would be good to ride? because at the end of the day it is about the riding isn't it?
