I gotta say that thing is great. It's completely useless as a motorcycle, but the engineering and artistic design are amazing. The steering mechanism is pretty clever. It isn't going to change the face of motorcycling, but I doubt he intended for it to.
I gotta say ya'll that attacked this thing for not being practical or for it's lack of functionality make me laugh.
We all ride BAs and SMs. Our bikes are far from the most practical bikes on the road, and in regards to functionality there are many bikes out there that handle, perform, and ride far better than ours. I bought my bike because it spoke to me the Harley Dyna Glide and the Yamaha Road Star (both of which were in the running) just didn't have the soul of my Speedy. When it comes to motorcycles there is far more to it than functionality.
For those of you that think it's ugly as sin... you might be on to something.
I still think the fact that he attempted something like that is pretty amazing.
