One of the scariest-looking bikes I have ever seen! Consider the weight of both crankshaft & flywheel, running at speed on a machine that prefers to turn rapidly when it leans...Yet at the same time, strangely appealing geometry of valve covers perfectly arranged to prevent a riders legs from getting too badly hurt after putting this machine down onto it's side. Tipping it back upright may be the nicest part of the riding experience, as it would roll naturally across the lower three valve covers. Not having any brakes on the front wheel is a minor detail when letting off the throttle too fast results in a slide quickly followed up with a reverse roll catapult launch which will throw the rider safely clear of any further shenanigans!
