Gentlemen, I give you the MotoMorphic JaFM#1     Some Specs:The frame is made of 6061-T6 tubing and CNC machined billet 6061. The lower spars are 5 inch, the uppers 4 inch, and the frame head is 6 inch. Gasoline is held in the frame, with a capacity of approximately 6 1/2 US gallons. The swingarm is 3 and 2 inch tubing and CNC subcomponents. Ohlins forks, Penske shock, Brembo brake calipers and rear mastercylinder, ISR front mastercylinder, Magura/PFM clutch mastercylinder. Stainless brake and clutch lines from Galfer. Fuel injected one liter dual overhead cam 4 valve per cylinder liquid cooled V-twin engine with a 6 speed transmission. The 4 inch diameter tank with hemispherical ends on the left side of the bike is the oil tank as it is a dry sump motor. First pass Dyno tune yielded 108 hp, 68 ft-lbs of torque. Wheels and tires: Front 8 1/2 inch with a 250 tire, Rear 10 1/2 inch with a 300 tire; wheels made from 6061-T6. The steering geometry has to be wacked on this set of wheels. I think the bar position is WAY too high, but if they put clip ons on it chances are you'd get sucked in that man-eater intake on top of the airbox. They took ALOT of cues from our buddy Erik Buell on the design of this monster. Could use a few more horses but where do I sign up!! | ||

I am not so interested in the bike, but the shipping crate has me frothing. That would make an interesting makeshift garage. | ||

Wow, now that is different...I can't even decide if I like it or not. Defenatly gets kudos for being unique! | ||

Is this what happens when an XB gets stung by a wasp? It's all swole up! LOL. | ||

Come on guys... That's obviously a Tuber!!! | ||

Maybe if they used a normal to slightly above average front tire instead of one that's wider than my truck's?? At least there's no debate about a RSS. | ||

I can see some Tomahawk influence in it too. Impressive work, but not my cup-o-tea | ||

I think the Wasp sting hit the nail on the head. I can understand if it was an aesthetics project, everyone has their own taste, definitely not mine. Money to burn for sure. Beautiful craftsmanship, ugly bike. | ||

If the movie "Freejack" needed a bike, they would have used this. Credit to them for trying to do something different, but it looks like bad Sci-Fi to me. | ||

"If the movie "Freejack" needed a bike, they would have used this." I was thinking "Transformers". | ||

108 hp from a liquid cooled 4 valve engine? Definitely interesting though. (Message edited by the_new_guy on June 24, 2008) | ||

what does the fan sound like? I had to throw it in there. | ||

LOL! While I can totally appreciate the work that must have been involved in fabbing that thing together, I have to say that, in my eyes, that's one of the dumbest looking bikes I've ever seen. It's like an elephant on wheels.  Good job putting it together though... looks very professional. ~SM (Message edited by Swordsman on June 25, 2008) | ||

Looking at it again I kind of like the way they did the handlebar controls....again though not for my bike, but they definitely get bonus points for not following the crowd. It's too bad that they didn't go the full distance and go for an alternative front suspension set-up, it would have been a perfect candidate for a swingarm front IMHO. | ||

All I got offer here, is wtf. |
