Re: Katana Design
I like it a lot. It shouldn't work, but a hard tail and what are probably girders up front give it a bit of drag bike stance. I'd have one in my garage.

Re: Katana Design
Wiv Bobster 'ere looks like a naff American designed thing, just tacked on some bodywork to hide the fact it could only go in a straight line on a very smooth piece of Tarmac. Take his crayons off him! 
Re: Katana Design
Agree with Bobster too, no practicality, Rigid? any body thats ridden knows what huggers and front mudguards are fitted for and best of luck with battery and electrics under that seat'
Seen better, Why change the original? If it aint broken don't fix it.

Re: Katana Design
good luck with that frame not collapsing the first time the back tyre hits a bump. i thought design type drawings were supposed to make something work better than at present. girders are for old brits and harleys only, fat tyres would make up a bit for lack of suspension but would make it wallow bounce and shimmy like, err, a hardtail chop with girder forks and too much power for them. as something to stick in a bike show, its great, look at this thread, it divides opinion and gets folk talking. but youd look a prat with a wet muddy stripe up your back all the time.
