:crazy: Poor bike. I'd think it would handle considerably worse than with the original wheel, right?

the plate certainly looks wanky - doesn't look like he leans it over enuf to scrape it though (probably can't....)

I agree, but its got a real flat profile shape.
And if you look at pic 2 again, it looks like he is almost on the edge, and he
look like he is no where near lent over.

Most of the people in the news group had the opinion that this was a Poser type do-up as opposed to a performance thing. As Dragonrider said in the news group "Looks like they threw most of the handling out the window. I hate to see how much of a gyroscope effect they'd have to overcome at Deal's Gap (which is where that pic was taken)." Every one to their own but I like the ride not the look. Mind you if it was parked out side the coffee shop I would have a good look at it :wacko:

I suspect it rolls with all the precision of a fat girl in a badly sprung double bed...

Each to his own and all that, but IMO that looks crap. I know its intended for looks over performance, but the handling would suck.

And as for how far it leans, I think that number plate explains it all. As another said, its almost on the edge of the tyre already and hes hardly leaning.
