Not quite as far fetched as it might look. After all: Hydraulic drive: Experimented with by Honda. Two wheel drive: Experimented with by Yahama. Rim mounted discs: Used by Buell, Ghezzi Brian and several MotoGP 250 teams. Hub centre steering: Used by Yamaha, Bimota and Vyrus. Rotary damping: Used by Suzuki. CVT transmission: Used by Honda. Trigger controls: Experimented with by numerous builders in the '80's. Hydrogen cell/ electric power: Both in use (but not together as far as I know). In fact the only thing on the bike which I don't think has been used in reality is two wheel steering.

It's 1/12 Rick, so the bike's just over 6 inches long.

The paint is actually a dark khaki with a purple pearl on top but, to my camera, it just looks like a muddy purple! And I have no idea why it wouldn't take a decent shot of the rider!
