[gnarlycharlie4u]

omfg that thing is soooooooo cool!!!! I wish i had $10k to spend on a bike that's uglier than a turd and probably handles worse than one too.

[Inigo Montoya]

I think you do, 333.

[bucky katt]

i understand the lengthened swing arm for drag racing but THAT long? and why is it necessary on a street bike? wheelbase on that thing looks longer than on my old triumph chopper.

No, and that is no drag racer, that is owned by some idiot that thinks it looks cool and those things are everywhere in the US, thankfully this ridiculous fad hasn't emerged down under. Why anyone would take a 300KMH street bike and turn it into a useless piece of #$%* is beyond me. Don't give these bikes owners the credit for being able to ride these things ion the strip, they obviously can't ride them on the street.
Some fads should just die a quick and painless death......
