agreed, what the fuck is up with having the whole center to rear of the bike. Even the seat and tank????? Looks like someone fucked up a indy replica and a perfectly good street bike.

Perhaps they thought it could be converted back to bike someday

Local guy did something similar not nearly as "elegant". It's a trike using a Honda Rebel 250. The bike is mounted at the steering head and pegs.

At the end, he can unbolt the Rebel, strap the triples back on and return it to original fashion.

What he should have done was build a back-end to match the front end and tossed a V8 in that fuckin' think and called it a day.

Now thats what I am talking bout right there...I will have to dig up some pictures of my car building days...Square tube bird cage chassis and a variety of suspension and power plants. Raced around on dirt tracks with much gusto...

Well, I don't know about a perfectly good bike...it is made from a Kawi afterall

Another example of

"Just because you CAN, doesn't mean you SHOULD."

That is completely ass-tactular....

I'd rather have a Spyder - at least you can move your weight around on them to get better cornering speed.
