I was just wondering what class this falls into. Forget the engine size. I think it would not be a full streamline because half the front wheel is not showing.plus you cant see the riders back. If someone showed up with a rig like this . Do they need to show egress like a car?

RX, it sounds like it does not fit a class... Streamliners have roll cages, Partial has strict rules, so may be allowed to run time only or go to the Bub, run AMA or FIM and hope they don't notice you are not legal in class like several bikes this year

Thanks. I saw this photo and did not like the looks of it. It brakes little LSR rules in every class I checked.I don't know anything about the bike . I bet it would get good fuel mileage with the right engine. Thanks for the reply.

I spotted Luigi Colani's decal on the flanks of the bike - did he design this?

Talk about going down with the ship !!!  A 360 Hans device would be a good idea. |

as pictured it does not fit into any class in SCTA-BNI. As far as the AMA, FIM, or ECTA we all have seen illegal vehicles run and set records. Now if your question was what modifications would it take to be legal for the SCTA-BNI...... if ya cut off the bottom of the front fender, shorten the windscreen, remove those skirts at the riders Belly and check the rear overhang to less than 10" if would fly... actually it probably would fly.... i can hear Glens announcement on the radio right now "and we have that funny looking red bike from Germany at the starting line, roll the ambulances!"....

When I saw it the front fender through up a big red flag . So I started doing an impromptive tech inspection. (It is going to be a long winter).It looks like someone went to a lot of work to build it . So I wounder what it is fore.

I saw some of Colani's work at SW maybe 25 years ago (?). I thought they were great to look at, especially the "snatch-mobile" if anyone remembers it.
