i can't find a seat height anywhere for this thing. i'd guess about 30" based on the 17" rear wheel.

Looks like a pocket bike.

Looks like a pocket bike.

but it's got more torque and probably a better power to weight ratio than an R6... i want one if you and Mizz are still stuck on what to get me for xmas :D :D :idea:

really though i just dig the red chain :P

[Brizz]

Sorry way too poor for that

I could spray paint your chain red for a fraction of that cost.

You cannot start on a Bimota. I would be too jealous. I gotta draw the line somewhere...

1000 dual spark motor looks nice stuffed in that modern chassis. Love the swingarm too.
