looks trick, saw a pic of it on autoblog. They built it like its supposed to be built. Very clean is all I can say.

I like the luggage between the frame horns...

Cool!

Loving the tyres. Also like the brake disc on the front.

is it low enough? :lol: looks awesome i would love to see it in person.

The brake disks confuse me.

They are a large diameter but very narrow. They look great but how effective are they.

At low speeds they would rips your eyes out but at higher speeds I wonder........ (wonder what size pads they use...)

I think those disks would warp within seconds at anything over 50mph I would assume. Although the caliper seems to cover about 25% of the circumference of the disk.

Although I could be wrong, they could be using f1 ceramics on them. It seems to be more geared as a show car than a performance thing.

I personally love the exposed rear axle.
