Well, that's one way to wreck a bike! At least it didn't break in half- I guess that's the good news? :shock:

The guys aren't bad fabricators BUT engineers they're NOT...splitting the controls between the rider and passenger? If there's something us humans don't do well, it is communication, which split (stretched) controls requires unambiguity and good timing in...they won't live long on that bike...

Entertaining enough, I suppose, but it's too bad they had to screw up that beautiful R1150R.

That bike would tour the Americas before they chopped it in half. Now it's barely fit to go around the block!
