I posted this more for the engineering rather than the slightly dubious aesthetics.

I like it, crazy engineering, rim brakes at the front, supercharger, MTB air shock on the rear!

The engineering looks a bit dubious, but I quite like the looks

I've not seen a double sided toothed belt before. The engines nest pleasingly on the right hand side too.

I would say that is not designed to be run in anger....what happens the first time a stone or grit land on the belt?

Plus the rim brake is a bit pointless....with two 500 velo singles, you are virtually going to stop as soon as you roll the throttle off.

You'd have to get it to run first - the whole things a sculpture

bloody impressive though. I'd have that in the conservatory as a piece of art all day.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 3:25 pmYou'd have to get it to run first - the whole things a sculpture

Sadly yes, have you not seen a AP50 with ace bars
I couldn't find a picture of a FS1E with drops

My old Fizzie had drops, well technically they were Ace Bars.
I used to put my feet on the back pegs and chin on the speedo and even saw 55 on the clock when in that ridiculous aero position.

RHS looks tidy
LHS is an 'elf 'n safety nightmare. I would be tucking my trews into a pair of high boots on the left.
Rim brakes are awful.
Suspension? Words fail me.
As a piece of metal sculpture it's not bad, as a motorcycle it is nil points from me.

Yes...the trip downhill not withstanding...it's for looking at.
Having said that, if it turned up in my living room (I have no conservatory) I would try to start it.

I sort of like the visual aspect,but even if it does run,I wouldn't want to ride it.

Makes me want to fit handlebars to my upstairs shitter.
