OISHI YOSHIO: A RONIN MOTORCYCLE FOR PIKES PEAK

Clearly this one is built more for a purpose and a function compared to many we've seen.

So the aesthetics may not be everyones choice, but the performance can't be open to discussion

:lol:

That was a lairy ride. I'm glad he picked his places to get it wrong,because you'd be well punished on some others.

Not much run off after the flag either. :lol:

It's a pity the forward facing camera wasn't given priority,I'd like to have watched the road instead of the other arty shit.

As for looks,I don't care so much,because the bike works well in practical terms.

Looks shit, but function before form.

Anyone racing up that hill has my serious respect - I have driven up it and some of the drops off the side are humungous.

It's a shame they tarmac'd the top section.

I like it. Very different and very quick.
