I like the design, however...

No brakes or suspension?
No expansion pipe? (it looks like a 2T)
Exhaust under the seat?

Maybe just something created by an art student

Truth! I remember riding my 998 thru downtown San Diego traffic on a hot summer day. I thought for sure my ass was literally on fire.

Okay, I just don’t get electrical systems. It’s a mystery to me.

How does this bike work with no battery?

The battery is probably tucked away inside the seat hump.
