Default Anyone seen Hondas new project bike?

Its on the cover of one of the new mags. The words sick, twisted, insane, and art can decribe this bad boy. Here is a quick description of the suspension. Single swingarm which looks almost tribal in shape and a single, yes SINGLE shock up front. It mounts to the same side as the swingarm and leaves one side of the bike completly clean with nothing but the nuts holding the wheels on. Like a car.

Yeah... "mechanical bug" comes to mind. Too bad cocept bikes that extreme arent ridable...at least by us.

ive seen bikes with single armed forks before. they're called mountain bikes!! while most mountain bikes use motorcycles as a building block(if that makes sense). I dont think a single armed fork would work for a motorcycle. while the mountain bike version(cannondale's "Lefty") is really nice its only supporting a sub 20 pound bike, plus the rider. not a 400 or so pound beast(plus rider weight of course). I dont doubt they could do it, but it I guarantee it wouldnt feel the same. id just look cool. and of course make it easier to change a tire! "but thats just my opinion i could be wrong."

I agree. It looked like that single front shock had about 2"s of travel.

Is it like the ELF a few years back?
