Pretty sure it's been done before. I seem to remember reading about and seeing pics of one in the UK in the late 50's. Possibly one in Oz too.
It's a bit heavy for a 500 kawa too. My F3 bike was 3/4 the weight...

First ive seen one but I guess nothing is new. Wonder if it would work for disabled people.

Two second to last places. Not setting the world on fire. Wheelbase is just like a train.

Do you mean racers?

I suspect the long wheel base could be an issue ..

It's ugly. It's slow. You'd be well more likely do you yourself a mischief in a crash.

1/10. Would not hit.

But, I like it

Doing it the other way - a kneeler solo - the long wheelbase was a disadvantage.
Mo Haley built several kneelers. The last I know of was a 125 which was fully streamlined.
Looked very good too, no idea where it is now, probably in a collection somewhere.
