Looks like the frame was welded by Stevie Wonder in his garden shed!

So it's a drag bike.

What super wide rear wheel do they use to get all that power to the ground... GS500.

On the plus side "It features three fighter jet-type toggle switches".

I love a good toggle switch.

The fairing is a mixture of Origami and Blue Peter.
