Pretty much that exactly. Took me about 30 secs to work out where the footpegs are, that's going to be hellish to ride.

I don't think the builder always gives consideration to how it rides, i certainly don't consider it when picking which of these bikes to give space to on the forum. I pick them for many reasons, but never for "oh that'll ride nicely".

It's a sort of 'what would a cartoon villain/heavy look like as a motorbike?'. It looks a bit brutal. Still a bit of a waste of a bike though.

Reminds me (very vaguely) of the BatBike. Just a lot shinier.

I like the exhaust, it's delightfully silly.

If 'brutal' was the remit,they've hit the mark.
