Somewhere, I assume Europe. Snatched this single photo off Facebook and thought some of you would find it interesting too.

I can see one (or two) sitting in your basement garage.   Won't find one in mine.   But, to each their own.

Just my two cents..... conversation piece.  Nothing useful about it. 

Well it does have two wheels and a motor. 

Nope, not for me.

I'd take one if given to me, I think it looks great.  But, I'd hate to have been riding that in the crosswinds coming back from Billings.

In reality I'd probably hate to ride that thing anywhere. Little rods for footpegs.
Tiny seat.

Deck one of those things out with good pegs and highway pegs and
sensibly mounted brake pedal and shifter and a comfortable seat/backrest
combo and it would probably look less... cool...

I'd have to sit on it to judge the relationship of the bars to the seat, but
maybe I'd have to put Valkyrie 1500 bars on it. Its maker would find
me and choke me...

Does not need a kickstand due to having twin rear wheels. So most likely zero suspension.

Do not need to ride it. Does not need to run even. I have many things that I can't ride or drive that I enjoy. I love deco smitten

Customize a backrest that looks like a rumble seat and give me tall bars and I'll take a couple as well!

 cooldude  It does appear that one would need to learn a whole new technique to scrape pegs in the twisties on that.

With so many varying tastes outside of the Valkyrie, I would be remiss if I didn’t include this for your consideration,

Cool! Strap-wrench brakes!
