It's got two bug eyes and a pair of nostrils. The vents in the fairings and the gaping hole between the tank and the frame are it's gills. It should be running on plankton, not petrol.

Not really, curvy has a better rear linkage when you start getting right into it.

If I was going to spend 3 grand I'd get a curvy and do a really cool build of it. Not really newbie friendly though!
