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?

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

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

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...

Build fully documented.
1 of 4 bikes currently on the road.
Stiffer suspension done by actiforce racing making the bike handle Perfectly, only way to describe this bike is it goes like a sports bike and handles like a supermoto, along with a reliable Japanese lump. Perfect for a quick blast at weekend or commute on the motorway.
Currently has a daytime mot but full wiring a swich gear for lights already on (front a rear lights only need wiring it (lights supplied with bike)
The running gear Came from a complete gsxr1000 k4 with 16000 miles on it
Brembo master cylinder
It is road legal and registered as a husqvarna 577 (up to the new owner to change the engine size)
Ktm 690 chassis
Alpina wheels

"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?
