1200cc 200hp v-twin, eh? Haha, might be a little much anyway...jeez man. But I did think it would be something more unique...still neat with all that carbon fiber. Look nice too
I guess it is honestly similar to the size and hp of a hayabusa [that is an inline 4 though]. Still too much though.

That is a weird looking bike...was it for a movie or something or just like something somebody thought was cool (reason I say that is the lack or a rear fender, lack of a real seat, and the forced laydown/belly config with the salt flats ferring...just doesn't seem like something that would be confortable to drive around)?
I like it, but I don't know about riding it...haha. It's neat! always like seeing different stuff...frames that boxer engine well too

It's a race bike. I found it on a blog (which I can't seem to re-find right now).
Pretty much the same info's here though:

Nice info! I love stuff like that...going to give it a better read in a bit (skimmed a lot).
I figured it was a specific purpose thing...I met some trial racers (what this looks like to me haha) when I was waiting for a free haircut during Built to Spill. Dude was pretty cool. Kinda funny to talk about cars instead of watching bands haha.
