    A rather frightening solution to the "no 2-stroke street bikes anymore" situation.

    It's very well done, but I'm betting it's a bit of a handful to ride. The snowmobile drive train works fine in the snow; pavement is a bit less "flexible."

    Neat piece of work though.

    I like the stance of it and how different it is. I would love to have it not as an everyday rider for bike week as well as shows. I have plenty of other bikes to drive. Can only imagine the gas mileage maybe 20

    That thing is nuts,

    compared to a snowmobile that motor would do little work to keep it at highway speeds... I'm betting the MPG would be better than that, if you can keep your wrist under control. Any issues with cooling? That would be a concern of mine, just not this time of year (brrrr)

    Legit, looks fun, except that I'd convert the throttle to a standard twist type

    According to the subtitle he added to the video, not. That thing is vicious though, can see why it's got such a long swingarm! Definitely not a DR but would be a fun toy to have all the same...
