anyone know what bike this is?

was researching for rear huggers and saw this bike on the their front page. the thing looks awesome! was just wondering if anyone knows what bike it is? (the bike up top)

btw, their price of the rear hugger seems really reasonable. wondering what the shipping is though.

Just to wet your appetite,







Take the plunge and buy it
I'd look at other huggers if you plan to up the size of your rear tyre as this will only allow for a 130/70 according to a poster on KF.
I'll be able to confirm when my bike decides to turn upt

man, greg... you are are all set to go, huh? yeah that is a great looking piece and a very reasonable cost. so, it comes to about $95.44 plus shipping. i came across that on 2fiddy.com

an update about the "tire width" thing would be appreciated when you find out. not sure if i will eventually want to go wider. the only reason why i would want to change to a larger rear tire is to blend in a little better with the "big boys".

Looks like a Bansai with a Kamikazi frame and a Samurai front end with Yamora wheels. These bikes were used in the ignitial death match of the best of the world series of ultimate street demons. It was a secret street race series and only published after the fact. Races were run in different countries so the "popo" couldn't catch them. There were 8 races and seven riders died during the series. The winning rider received a 09 Kawi 250 modified and customized buy a Hawaiian 250 guru. There are many pictures and videos online so you know where to look. I can't say how much was wagered on the series but many people made millions of Euros and Yen. There was only two Americans and both didn't make it though to the end. This was a test run to see if there was interest in a street race series where money and your life was on the line. Although the Americians (Yankee Dogs) didn't think it was worthwhile it is a big series in Asia where the particpants are considered heroes.
