Came across this image on G+. I'm not sure it's real but I'd like to see how that front end is attached. No more info was available.

Looks like it could it be one of those Aprilia scooter front ends, with custom wheels.

Ive ridden one, although strange, it wasnt that much different from riding on two wheels.

I could still tuck the front on that. Its my main talent in life. it's an interesting concept for a full road bike.

Sadly it'll probably go the same way as the two wheel drive ideas that came and went.

It'd be great for some disabled bikers who can't ride conventional 2 wheelers or short people

My mates Piaggio has a suspension lock, so you can keep your feet up at traffic lights, it automatically disengages when you ride off.

Honda seem to have been on the saki too, their offering is like this

Have to admit I'm strangely drawn to it, must have been the mushrooms.

Has he converted it to diesel too? Sounds terrible

But that's when I stretch my legs!

True, but you could stand up on the footboards on his machine :p

But you don't need to as there's no big tank between your knees your hands do all the work, so you can practice tap dancing whilst riding. In bad weather he's got a thing that goes over his legs to keep them dry & warm, but he can wear normal non biking trousers.

Its easier for him to get to work in Rotterdam, than using a car & where he lives, there's no train or buses, so its a great way to get into work. Cheaper on fuel too

I've had a go on a Piag, they're surprisingly slow for a 500
