Rider Profile
| Best For | This machine is not really a motorcycle to be ridden in any conventional sense but a rolling engineering showcase, so it demands no traditional riding skill so much as sheer nerve and mechanical fascination. |
| Purpose | It exists purely as a design and engineering statement built around a Viper V10, intended for display, straight-line demonstration runs, and jaw-dropping spec sheets rather than actual road use. |
| Rider Fit | Its 680kg mass, four-wheel outrigger layout, and 76mm ground clearance mean it cannot be leaned or balanced like a normal bike, so physical demands are more about bracing against violent acceleration than managing bodyweight through corners. |
| Character | It is a brutal, absurdist hot-rod fantasy on two-plus-two wheels, celebrating raw horsepower and mechanical spectacle over any pretense of practicality or ridability. |
| Not Ideal For | It is not for anyone wanting a rideable motorcycle, a commuter, a tourer, or a corner-carving machine, since it was never legally or practically intended for real-world roads. |
