What a nut-buster! Feet behind but, behind torso ergonomics are not for long distance touring or for men wanting to father children. But I guess that when/if you actually twist the throttle--strangely they don't in the video--an exaggerated forward lean like that might come in handy. It ought to be a demon at the drag strip. Looked nicely finished too.

Better than a Boss Hoss in my book.

Looks like a show bike to me. Notice how his knees are literally against the header pipe, right where it comes out of the head. There's no way you could ride that more than a few minutes at a time.

For a show bike it looks nice though!

That's what is so clever about the engineering! That is exactly the space of time you would have to stop to refuel, thus giving your legs a rest from the heat.

I believe I like that better than the Tomahawk that came out a few years ago.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

What a piece of ugly crap!!! Not to mention a waste of a beautiful power plant.

I kept hoping for a twist of the throttle...disappointing.

Twist the throttle!

Did you see the torque thrust when it first started? It was quite a bit calmer when he just revved it a bit. It looks like that thing would need a right side training wheel to catch it if it were revved too hard!

Beautiful execution of a true custom monster that looks like it would be a ridable street bike.....with a throttle limiter!

I would do the 620hp LS9 from the Corvette instead. Smaller, more compact, more power, and then you got the supercharger whine : )

You mean like a bull is ride-able for eight seconds?

Not a big fan of the front forks/handlebar area, but overall, nice execution.

I did see a dude do multiple passes on Deal's Gap with his Boss Hoss one day.

Riding the Buell, then watching him come and go was an exercise in cognitive dissonance.
