I dont see why its out of the question now. Shaft technology has come a long way. No more shaft lag. Way less maintenance than a chain. Sure the weight is an issue.

To OP.... Bet it handles like absolute horse shit. Heavy ass engine, super stretched swingarm. Be at home on the strip though....

IF this is real it could be a GL frame from the forks back. With minimal sport bike components grafted into place. That would likely put it into the same weight class as a busa or ZX14, What it would give up them in length and HP would be made up for by the table flat torque curve of the 1825 opposed six. Cool Idea

Not saying it can't be done... but the examples given are sport tourer's, not a true "sport" bike, IMO.

However neither are RACE bikes. I wouldn't have taken either to a track day. Who was the lunatic on CF that had the carbon fiber busa that was all over the net and in rags doing track days and killing everyone in socal with his carbon fiber busa? He was the code writer and problem solver......crap..can't remember his name
