The proportions on that are making it pretty difficult for my brain to process. Its like when a vehicle model in a video game becomes totally distorted after a wacky collision.

I like that theres regular motorcycle controls on the end of the grips just hanging out in the air. How dumb.

Seriously, I don't think I've ever seen a bike outside of TRON or a Rokon where the front tire was the size of a back tire

I thought that the controls were pretty drat cool. I can imagine that as long as the tubes supporting them were stiff enough, it'd be fine. It should (should being the operative word) work exactly as normal bars.

god drat this thing owns http://buffalo.craigslist.org/mcy/1260163713.html I really like sport bikes, but some of those old japanese bikes with a little aesthetic work are just awesome looking. It's probably a good thing I don't have lots of extra money, because I would have piles of old bikes I wanted to gussy up and look cool

How the hell do you even do that when the bike is presumably moving at a normal pace? Is this the tail end of a failed endo?

Slow, crappy rider, pulling an endo for the camera, fails to account for the camber in the road, it goes sideways, they put a foot down, bam! Either that or he's jumping on the bike as it falls out of the sky.
