That is a pretty specialized custom bike.  I can see the price being that high.


However, this picture really doesn't look right, if you know what I mean....

I shy away from any bike where your balls are part of the suspension (like sport bikes).

I don't know about that, but once you lean forward enough to grab those bars, you are no longer sitting on your gluteus maximus, you are sitting on your testicles.  At least at 5' 9" you are.  And looking forward requires a bent neck (backward) all day.
