Very strange looking. It's actually an old design, just never used on a motorcycle.

There's no problem that a full tank of gas and a sunny day can't fix!

Genius. Looks like Paralever, Earles, Castle and Terminator got in a mashup.

I would think that it could be used on race bikes if the thing is actually faster and offers more precise control.

It looks far to expensive and complicated to make it onto production bike that is affordable.  And I can't see how the stylists are going to be able to make it look good on a road bike. (However.....a lot of the custom guys keep making bikes that are Mad Max/industrial looking kind of stuff - so somebody likes that look).

I also watched a Jay Leno's garage clip the other day and seen an interesting new dual leaning front end, but the price.... you could buy a few new S40's with it...
