I was having a tidy up recently and found this pic I'd cut out of a mag years ago don't know who the bloke is but I believe he is responsible for the bike. The interesting bits of the bike for me are the anti-dive brakes up front and co-axial swingarm pivot.

Dang, thats clever on the brakes, Im guessing the idea on the swingarm is to put the pivot at the drive sprocket center so the chain tension stays the same thru the suspension motion?

Ye, PITA to work on, but not designed for wrenching, but racing, be my guess.. Looks like dropping the engine is about Step One for almost anything that needs done, dangitt,,,
Hows that sayin go?

The cutting edge mechanicals aren't helping the lines visually...
Space frames are sexy though...



Huh... I think I've been watching the Oscar fashionista a little too much...
