One bounce out of that seat and yer gnards are going straight into the meat grinder between the rear tire and that leaf blower motor.

... could be a rear brake lever. Honda put a rear brake lever there on a number of oddball vehicles in the past, it's not unheard of.
It looks like some little commuter scooter, to be parked with all of the Segways in the bike rack.

Never been a fan of his work. He's the Chris Bangle of motorcycles.

Pierre needs to buy better dope ... the acid or mushrooms he's been getting from his dealer are messing with his head.

It has a slipper clutch and is water cooled. The other thing it has is a sound generator.

NON-slipper clutch .....
"This electric bike has a clutch. It’s non-slipper and regenerative, and BST specifically states that riders can rev using this clutch. Importantly for every rider who enjoys fun, BST also mentions, “Burnouts and wheelies standard features with Wheelie & Traction Control. There’s also a built-in sound generator, cruise control, and hill stop..."
The thing is tank .... 452 pounds. Claimed 107hp with 88.5 lb/ft or torque. No info on price.

Even though I would not buy one, I love to see him make a statement.Just saw this today. I guess this is what Mr. Terblanche has been working on. They quote him as saying "This is the best work I have ever done". I think it looks interesting but I don't think he really believes this.

A lot more inspiring than the boring hymalayan he was previously involved with.
Too radical? Yes
Polemical? Yes
But fortunately, I don't feel indifferent towards it!
Avant-garde designers like him should push the limits like he does.

I guess we shouldn't be surprised. It looks like a prototype. So it's priced as a prototype.
