That is one ugly machine but he didn't make it for us he made it for himself and if he likes it then that's what is most important.

One thing that would be cool is if he built the engine up enough to get that thing up on the far rear wheel. That would be a sight to see.

I know you've seen cement trucks with the center axle with tires that support the frame when it has a full load.

Well if you look at him, you'll get my point.

There was a similar photo out on this bike..and someone photoshoped extra wheels on to it. I think they finally stopped at 4 or 5 rear wheels.

Nope..if you look close enough the chain stops at the main wheel. Looks like the extra wheel is just for show.

The thing that I don't understand about it really is that he said he added the third wheel to keep the front end down with "all that horsepower". That article said that the bike is "only" making 160 HP. There are plenty of bikes running ALOT more horsepower with standard or slightly extended swingarms, right? I don't know why he didn't just say that he did it to be different, instead of trying to make it logical.

Yeah, i agree, if you read the article, the motor stuff says, stock, stock, stock. There's really not much hp stuff done at all.

Also, this bike was brought up months ago on these forums, and the consensus was that what the hell happens when he turns or hits a small bump.... the third wheel would touch down, but the middle wheel would be raised, and thats the only one that supplys power.... this bike is a disaster, only good for shows, barley for that even.

Honestly I feel sorry for all of you "normal" Busa owners, because there are so many dumbasses who ride Busas and do that kind of shit, makes you guys look bad, just from being guilty by association.
