Scary. I like it. Reality check... a GSXR 1000 motor weighs, what... 200 lbs? 150+HP? Whereas a GS mill is somewhere in the neighborhood of 30HP, and weighs 657lbs or so? I call this a win!

I posted this as a response to an ultimate tall guy bike thread quite a while ago.  It's got a 36 or 37" seat height I think.

Awesome.  Though the new Multi is probably almost as bonkers.  Did some guy make it himself, or is it a company that's trying to sell these?

Certainly looks like a fun bike, but someone please throw a thesaurus at that guy!

I think he said at the end "French bike experience". If so... perhaps there's a French company putting these together. As usual... MCN = worst reporting ever.

That Frankenbike really parallels many of the points of contention in the "Why do S/T bikes have to be so heavy" thread.  Through the wonder of google translator, the spec sheet claims 190kg dry weight..... 420lbs.
Sure they dropped alot of weight, but as the guy said  "If you've got alot of money lying around...."
On the other hand, the whole package was cobbled together out of already mass-produced easily accessible parts, albeit from 3 different bike makers.  makes me wonder how much work it would take to really make this as a 'real bike', like on American showrooms.

Nice... just as I was thinking about how underpowered my 1150 gs is...  

Too bad I don't "got a lot money laying around."   Lol

That's somewhere above navel (belly button in case I spelt it wrong!) height for some of us... Embarassment
