    Looking at all the photos I hope the bike comes with medical coverage when the sprockets chew your feet off. Uncovered and right next to the feet, nice. No video of the bike actually being ridden, bummer

    That look on her face is saying ‘bigger IS better’. Like to see the dude riding it (bike) and then picking it up when he has to lay it down. Of course, it gives new meaning to all those “watch out for motorcycles” bumper stickers. i’d get outta their way!

    Looks like something commissioned for “Sons of Anarchy” set.

    That ain’t no pocket-rocket.

    It’s creative for sure, but certainly has what looks to be some design/operational issues, as noted by Dave and G-Man. I would assume the young ladies’ left foot is presented with a similiar hazard where the primary drive reaches the transmission. The picture is fuzzy, but it looks like the primary drive is also a chain. Don’t know of a belt is available to handle what must be an enormous amount of torque.

    At first I thought it might be pictured in an incomplete phase, but further websearch has the fabricator saying that is in fact a finished product. Things like this always make me think of Samuel Johnson’s quote, paraphrased so as not to offend today’s readers of the gentle persuasion -

    “… It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all.”

    6728 c.c. @ 1433 pounds. Only Batman has a bigger bike.
    Wonder if it’s accessorized as pictured ;-)

    Hmm. Is there a boarding ladder? The thing weighing 3/4 ton, I’d like a chain saw in a saddlebag in case the thing fell over and I didn’t get my leg out from under it in time.

    Motorcycles have gotten entirely too heavy, the last thirty years or so. There is no good engineering reason that an ordinary generic commuter street bike should weigh more than 300 pounds. 250 would be better.
