Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an extreme novelty prototype with a car-derived V8 and four wheels arranged in dual front and rear pairs, so it demands an experienced builder-rider comfortable with wholly unconventional handling rather than a typical motorcycle license holder.
PurposeBuilt as a one-off engineering showcase and spectacle machine to demonstrate a car engine shoehorned into a motorcycle-style chassis, not as practical transportation.
Rider FitAt roughly 690 kg dry with a massive 5.0-liter V8, this machine requires significant physical strength and confidence to manage its bulk and low-speed balance, especially given its unusual quad-wheel layout.
CharacterA brash, garage-built curiosity that trades agility and practicality for outrageous displacement and shock value, appealing to riders who love mechanical spectacle over refined dynamics.
Not Ideal ForThis is not for riders seeking nimble cornering, everyday usability, touring comfort, or any kind of off-road capability.
