  1. I'm sorry but that thing is so stupid. No doubt it has less horsepower and terrible handling, etc. compared to my BMW HP 4 RR1000 competition that has 999 cc's and also looks and sounds so much cooler it isn't even funny.

  2. That V10 seems to sit tidy in the frame. I am glad to see enthusiasts enginuity .
    Of course needs more work for leg, exhausts area. Other area also.
    Its not a bad start.

  3. Terrible for cornering and applying power on because a left corner the centrifugal torque of engine will want to stand bike up straight and right hand corner it will force the whole bike down.
