Is this new? Ain't seen nothing like it. Supercharged and made to look like a hard tail.

Holy cow! Someone really MUST build these. I wouldn't even mind the limiting of peg possibilities due to the cylinders.

The original R5 was really beautiful. This thing is, in my view, an ugly POS.  Butt if you have ridden other spine jarring mc w/likely poor handling on any less than straight road and enjoy the swill coming off the front tire you'll have similar pleasure. What a waste of materials and shop time.   R3~
