Something a bit different

If that's not Photoshopped it needs crushing.

It's a nice piece of engineering but only for engineering's sake.

They've taken two bikes at the top of their respective fields and turned them into one that's good at neither.

I think that is pretty cool.

Any more information on it? Top speed, 0-60 etc?

No info sorry buts Needs turbo

Has it got the 1800cc lump in it ? I take it will have more torque than the original blade lump so should it be quicker in a straight line

[pepperami]

F-kin ell! seeing that has made me a little scared!

[hmmmnz]

id be tempted to shorten the wheel base,
how easy that would be on an alloy mono lever type bike i dunno,
it looks a bit lie a drag bike,
may be if it was turbo'd then you could just pretend it was a drag bike

Loads of bits don't match up - the exhaust system is particularly badly thought out by the photochopper.

Different..

The 'dragster' sport bikes seem popular in the US saw about 5 on public rosds in florida a few years ago, think most of them were just extended wheelbases rather than tuned up though, look hideous either way

[sidewinder]

The more I look at it the more it grows on me.think I need to get out more

[Vincent]

The top part of the shock seems to be pointing in a different direction to the bottom, and, as g says, the exhaust goes straight through the shock linkage. What's driving the rear wheel?

I can see how they can get the shaft through the centre of the swingarm, but what about the pivot?

Unless the swingarm has two pivots - one each side perhaps.

Surely that's a photoshop job? Look at the decals on the swingarm.......they don't follow the shape of the arm itself................

The shade for the rear wheel doesn't look right to me either.

Wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong but it just doesn't look right to me......................

It looks to be a fairly standard Goldwing setup; here's a normal goldwing (with lots of plastic bits):

Here's some more detail:

And finally, this was what convinced me it wasn't a photoshop; another picture .

Yeah.......I can see how it goes from that middle pic. Bloody ugly lumps tho aren't they There's still the question why?

I've only ever ridden a MKI Goldwing and that was quite a strange experience from what I recall, I remember the feeling of having to pull it over to get around bends. They've progressed a bit since then no doubt.

It makes no sense on the road but if it is going to be dragged or sprinted I would like to see the time tickets.
