      I should've posted this in the other bike discussion forum. Sorry about that.
      Here's the site if you want to read about the above bike.

              so i clicked all the links and it is one pretty sweet bike.....there are other ones like it but not mounted like that they are inline with the frame.

              someone could do a rotary out of a RX7....that would be fun as well.....but not as awsome as this!

                Yeah, good point. How do they stop this thing? Guess it wasn't quite finished when they brought it to the show...
