Hard to steer too biggrin edit: ok, now seen the later pictures with handlebars biggrin

How the hell does the front suspension work? His text goes on about hydraulic cylinders but then he's not got any space for the wheel to move. Is it my imagination or has he attatched the footpegs to the swingarm? That would make for an interesting ride.

Good CAD skills, feckin ugly bike though.

I think they should stick to cars... Looks like a kid has drawn it.

I mean, points for trying etc but either I'm missing something or this guy is missing a hell of a lot!

I'd really like to see someone do one of these concept vehicles who actually knows anything about mechanics ;-)

Nice piece of art but dynamically it looks shite, can't see Ferrari wanting to put their name to a bloated, stretched pig like that.

That is horrible. The front elevation looks like a Disney character, and in profile it looks somewhat like an angry penis. V Poor IMHO.

^ Think you need to see a GOOD genito-urinary surgeon if yours looks like that, sunshine biggrin:

Otherwise that is just a piece of lounge-wall art if you ask me...

First thing I thought was where's the gearbox? scratchchin

Also, the engine looks to be way too far back in the chassis - mid engined Ferraris might handle OK, but mid-engined bikes?? yikes

Surely all bikes are mid engined?

Wiki says A mid-engine layout describes the placement of an automobile engine between the rear and front axles. Another term for this is mid-ship.
