That thing looks light! They say that front end configuration completely eliminates front end dive during hard braking!

I first saw this type of hub-centre steering at a race meet at Snetterton (UK) in the early 70s!!
A good job I remembered it, as a few years later, having read up on it, I was able to mount a good prosecution against a driver who hauled out of a side road in front of me,
This was on a curve, so I couldnt brake due to the effects of precessionary forces
I finished my instructions to my lawyer by referring him to Di Fazio hub-centre steering.
Case won!.. court baffled by bu¬¬sh1t!
Bike looks dead neat, if a little oudre, but then look at the latest offerings from Benelli...cool!!
Regards,
Mike.

I think they should have put handlebars on the back also...nobody would every steal it, cuz they wouldn't know which way to go. It probably does best on straight roads, considering you would have to come to a stop when you reach the edge of the road and pick up the (front?) end and point it in the direction of the road again.

I guess your post was a joke that I missed again, but oddly enough, you could put bars on the wrong end and hook them up to the wheel that turns and have a rear wheel steer bike.
