It takes a serious modder to look at his motorcycle and think "I could put a Viper motor in there." This thing is truly badass and totally street legal.

fyi

Thats dam cool, and just wrong, in so many ways! Outrageous to say the lest. I’ll bet it handles like cr*p, but it is interesting.

[Eagle Eye]

Gonna burn his knees, too.

[HerrBlucher]

Yeah, ouch. Cool bike but I think mostly useless except for bragging rights. Then again, people use to think 1800cc’s was too big, now its common, and the popular Triumph Rocket III has 2300cc’s, and then there is the Boss Hoss.....

Not much to go on from this very abbreviated video.
Lots of cheesecake shots of the bike from various angles,
which highlights the really gorgeous styling.
From the video it looks like the thing, once on the road, can actually attain the 55 mph speedlimit.
Hell my first bike the 1975 Honda CB125 could do that PLUS another 8 MPH.
Once you see the thing actually being ridden with a human sized rider, you begin to see what could be problems:
an ENORMOUSLY enlongated gas tank, which necessarily puts the rider’s arms outstretched almost straight, which suggests that is the position and posture that will be the ONLY one this bike could be ridden with. How’s the steering geometry, btw?

For my money, although I do like the fact that this thing
still manages to look more like a “bike” than a rocket ship, the best smallish bike ever made was the 1975 Yamaha RD 350.

WOW now that is a serious bad bike.

After the dude started it and kicked it in gear, sounded like a plane taking off!!

Bump

[Eagle Eye]

And my 1700 is almost a mo-ped!

[BallyBill]

I guess the helmet is for in case he falls starting it up. After that is is just along for the ride.

[Gator113]

Very cool.

I wonder how it would be in the curves and I would definatly want the bars to come back... the rider is stretched out too far. But, it sure looks like fun.

Hell my first bike the 1975 Honda CB125 could do that PLUS another 8 MPH.

Not in a headwind, though! :-)

I had one, too. Great bike!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Not sure the modder of it is American,...notice he is on the wrong side of the road.

[Poser]

Too tall. Too heavy. Butt... Way cool anyway.

[Paladin2]

Why isn’t it shown hauling a trailer? I’m sure it would have a useful GCVW.

[wastedyears]

I think it was just a two-lane.

“American ingenuity”

You were kidding right?

The dude is British.
