I rode one recently. WOW! What an awesome bike. It handled much better than I thought it would. I could really lean into the turns. It’s heavy, but so well balanced you don’t feel the weight. The trans was smooth. Shifting was not a problem. Because the bike is long, it has a big turning radius…but because the bike is long it also smooths out the bumps in the road. All in all, I loved it and just ordered one. I can’t wait to get it!!

Well,

One good reason to have an “X-treme” scooter is the to have undertaken the building process, not to experience it “turning”….. (because, by and large, they don’t). And it’s damn hard to get the proportions to look reasonable.

IMHO, this one doesn’t.
The distance between the back of the engine and the rear wheel is just out-a whack.

However, building an “unknown formula” is always interesting and fun.

RE:
“…people I see riding these things can’t even turn a conventional bike …”

Well, ya ..some people.
But then, Sammy Swindel, several times World of Outlaws champion had a Boss Hoss and wasn’t afraid to “throw it around” (or so he inferred on TV).

The point is, there are many reasons to have an “X-treme” scooter.
For me…. it’s the building. The rest is irrelevant.

The people I see riding these things can’t even turn a conventional bike much less a torque monster such as this! peace

IT sounds like you’re at the drags every time the switch gets flipped. I loved. Was in MB next to one on a freeway. When he twisted it, it was roaring rubber and he was gone. Makes your heat beat faster just being next to one. Excellent workmanship from what I saw.

I saw one of these at Bike Week. Awesome bikes. Look good in person. Lots of high end components.

Just like a fat girl, I’m sure it’s fun to ride but, it’s so ugly you wouldn’t want anybody to see you ride it.

Quite unattractive at 1st glance, but for sure a good bike for speed cruising.

I just don’t see the point… you can do a lot more with a lot less engine… like turn for instance.

cleaner than a Boss Hoss, but I’d like to know more about the transmission- proprietary stuff like this makes me nervious…..
