I dont see why its out of the question now. Shaft technology has come a long way. No more shaft lag. Way less maintenance than a chain. Sure the weight is an issue.

To OP.... Bet it handles like absolute horse shit. Heavy ass engine, super stretched swingarm. Be at home on the strip though....

While I am not sure what I am seeing in the photo if it is not a photoshop. The rear swingarm appears to be a a stock GL1800 arm. For those who have not ridden the GL1800 variant they Handle Amazingly well for a machine of their size.
IF this is real it could be a GL frame from the forks back. With minimal sport bike components grafted into place. That would likely put it into the same weight class as a busa or ZX14, What it would give up them in length and HP would be made up for by the table flat torque curve of the 1825 opposed six. Cool Idea

I am pretty sure it is real and not a photoshop, here is a different photo from a different person taken at a much different angle

It is very impressive. I know that a modded GL1800 posted 225 mph on the salt in 06.
Hmm My wife doesn't ride her wing all that Much......
