:gle: Geezus this thing is unreal. At $90k it better be. I took this shots at the back of work where they were shooting the pics for the BikeWeek issues. I have more if anyone is interested.

A bike like that allways looks better than it rides, there are alot of design flaws in these custom bikes that make them just plain dangerous. they are all show! sure they look great when you drive em on a highway run with your buddys, but they dont handle well at all. If you want motorcycle Nirvana get a jap bike. if you want some toothless biker chik sitting on the back of your ride, that one is great.

this bike doesn't look like it can corner fast.

This bike doesn't look like it can corner at all. Look at how low the frame is to the ground. Any lean and it's going to scrape.

My guess is that it has air suspension in it. HotMatch makes a setup that the bike lowers itself and sits on the bottom of the frame instead of using a stand.

I agree with most everyone though, these bikes look hot, but they are mostly for show.

Actually it's electric-hydraulic suspension. The guy was really cool (Sansone) and he showed me how it worked. You rode the bike in any elevated position from upright cruiser to dropped for speed on the highway (obviously not that dropped) and you parked it on the frame(!) on a set of steel nubs. It was really cool. Power came from a stock S&S motor, so it was relatively reliable for a 160-180 hp bike. All kevlar and stuff. Here's some more pics:
