Says he is looking for funding… I would imagine he needs a ton of money for drivetrain development. It looks like a lot of work has gone into it and I hope the guy is getting something out of it, but it is not pretty at all.
Its a drivetrain development tool at best. Its aesthetically awful

It seems like its more weird for the sake of weird. You can still get a ton of power and torque out of a normal motorcycle liter+ motor. Sort of like an SHO motor in a Camaro. I guess whatever floats your boat.

that would be pretty sweet… driving a trans would be the difficult part. youd have to do a chain drive or a belt drive off the end to a separate trans similar to a harley. where to put the radiator though lol.

i was thinking this at first, but if he could actually keep the weight down and figure out teh gearing, it would have the same power as a standard 1000 give or take 10 horse (around 180), but instead of having 70 ft pounds of torque, it would have 170, which is ballsssssss
