well we scooter riders think its cool.

Personally I think he is aiming way low with the choice of powerplant: I'm thinking first gen V Max, or maybe Gold wing 6 cyl.

It's an updated Quasar

He has too much time on his hands.

He states that a lower bike means better braking but I'm not so sure. OK less chance of going ove the top but less weight transfer so less brakable usable contact pressure. Thinking of leaverage of bike plus rider mass therefore inertia onto front wheel, blah blah etc

Less weight transfer to the front should mean you could use more rear

Someone with no engineering or mechanical backgrounds trying to raise 40grand for a project that probably wont work, and even if it did how could you say that its safe?
he doesn't have a clue, he just thinks he does.

What he has produced is a trike with 2 wheels.
