Does it have 'pump it up' suspension like Citroens of yore? If not, I fail to see how it could be ridden without decking everything out all the time.

Even if it does, it's still steampunk taken to its logical and absurd conclusion.

Pretty sure it has air-ride and is also diesel powered!

Looks like a special, but they're actually building them as an official model.

Is it a hillclimber or a drag bike?

[Count Steer]

It's quite....long. The rear wheel looks a bit semi-detached. Is that for a particular type of terrain?

Terrain that needs 185bhp to tackle.

I'd guess it's for this type of mentalist lot. Always some absolute loopy bikes competing.

[KungFooBob]

Different.

Bacon slicers front and rear, cast headstock, leading link front suspenders. Gearbox looks tiny!

Classic example of just because you can, doesn't mean you should. But, there's something in me that is secretly glad people do build such useless things! A break from the norm I suppose...

"It is road legal and registered as a husqvarna 577 (up to the new owner to change the engine size)"

Why should the new owner be re-registering it? What's dodgy about the new engine?
