Looks like one of those little worm thingys that we dissected a long time ago in high school biology class. Also noting the extreme lack of any kind of suspension or shock absorption this thing would be a nightmare to ride on anything but a perfectly smooth surface. I can just see someone hitting a small bump or small pothole at speed, it would be a disaster. Also, nobody needs brakes like that on the rear wheel, there simply is no point, engaging a braking system like that would most likely lock the rear wheel up causing a loss of control that is not easily corrected. Aerodynamically speaking the bike looks fine until you put a rider on it, I don’t know about any of you but I have ridden a bike going 180MPH and it is hard enough to hold on to when you do have a little bit of protection afforded by that tiny windscreen you see on crotch-rockets. This thing looks like it would use you as an air-brake. Also on the aerodynamics part, I’m sure those side scoops offer unbelievable cooling for the entire internals of the bike but they aren’t jet intakes, they will slow the bike down and make it less maneuverable at high speeds. I would also like to see this bike ever make a hairpin turn on a track, I doubt it would do it, the wheelbase looks far too long although I obviously do not have the specs for the bike I just seriously doubt this thing could compete with the rockets of today. It looks nice in pictures but in reality this bike would be disastrous. Just my 2 cents from someone who has actually ridden a rocket.
