i want one!!!!
that's cool.  All motor.  I hope there's some protection b/w the motor and the driver or that could be one painful episode if the engine ever rips apart.
He's got some dieseling when he turns that thing off--no radiator, gets quite hot.  He should turn if off while it is in gear, she'll cut right off.

ya i saw that. I would have fixed the timing before hot rodding it in front of strangers. Maybe he has a radiator hidden somewhere like a baja truck or something. Didnt notice it not having one.

if you pause it at 1:08 it looks like there is a red radiator hose.

     THAT IS AWESOME, with rear steer and all, that would be wicked to take to sand mountain and see what it would do to climb the hill.

 ??? It's supercharged

I don't think I'd be cool with that jackass doing donuts in front of my bike.

obviously, but, does that mean it's prone to run-on after turning it off?  Never had a supercharger.

You wrote All Motor - I assumed you meant it's all motor?

That thing is awesome, but the moment I had to clean burned rubber off my bike it'd be on!
