Think it'd wheelie?

[ ] Shaftie
[x] Chain driven

Clearly as it's not a shaftie, it will wheelie.

Is it a Motorbike?

[x] Large Engine
[x] Two wheels
[x] Doesnt look like a rotovator and isnt a moped or scooter

Obviously it is then..

looks to me like it has (albeit a bit out of scale)

You wouldn't want to drop the bugger though :smt009

In Japan, to ride a bike you have to be able to pick it up from laying on it's side.


....... on a dark night, I wouldn't like to meet any Japanese chappy licensed to ride that thing .....

With the torque that thing probably has, course it will wheelie.
Even better what a tool for filtering through London Traffic!
