My question is, is it rideable? Looks like it be tough to steer. I know, I know...... still a cool lookin' bike.

You would think that it would be but it's all hydralic steering the bike doesn't know it doesn't have a conventional front end. It sits like a chopper but can handle the corner great too.

It's definitly different.... kinda scary looking. I wonder if that design has an advantage over a traditional chopper?
