Nice. Gotta love the story...too bad they never went into full out production.

Vyrus makes something similar:
2006 ZX-6R PART OUT
I'm so confused looking at that bike. Kudos to an innovative design though.
Current - '08 T-rex (soon to be T-rex-T)
Current - '02 Suzuki Hayabusa-T
Ex' - '88 - Yamaha YSR 80
Ex' - '01 - Suzuki Gixxer 1000
Ex' - '89 - Honda CB-1
Ex' - '02 Yamaha R6
Ex' - '91 Yamaha YSR 80
Ex' - '98 Suzuki GSXR 600
Original photo is a Bimota Tesi 3D.
The Vyrus is just Bimota Tesi's with upgraded parts and "upgraded" price.
I so want one but I lack funding... and they're not sold in Canada, yet (from what I've heard).
