That thing looks absolutely terrifying.
Seriously, the tail shot, it looks evil.

A mate of mine, used to driving his CBR600 for years, got onto a Hardly Movingson, or HD replica thing, careered off up the road, braked "as normal" for a corner, and tried to lean in in much the same way as he was used to. And, the bike promptly entered into some class of epileptic fit, forks all bottomed out, all over the shop. He didnt bin it. Just. I think he might have turned around and given it straight back though.

I wonder if you get managed to get used driving this yoke, would you just be ruined for basically all other bikes? Would everything just feel like a Harley compared to this yoke?
