"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.

That's pretty radical.  I'd call it, The Impaler!  I'm not sure that I'd want to ride it, but it looks cool.

The company calls it the CB10.
There are several versions including candy blue green, 4 into 4 exhaust, nice seat. I'm lusting after this.
Too bad they all seem to be in Japan.
Can't tell my K3 about this, it won't like it.
