    Be carefull in the turns, knobby tires don't have much grip on pavement. How is your stopping distance with no front brake? I like the look.

    for the style we always have to give something for something right? no front brakes or street tire? So what! Thats why it's called hardcore and thats what this bike is! KEEP IT DANGEROUS :twisted:

    WOW... it looks cool, but no way would I go that route with my bike. You CAN take form over function a bit too far.....and I think that right there is it.

    im in Miami and thanksnfully there is not a lot of cornering to do...and there is not even a hill near by...LOL... on the braking distance men i go by gut feeling i spent many years on competitive cycling and i use that experience on my favor.... but the engine helps a lot having straight pipes... i keep it as safe as i can....
