How about this, with a Burgman engine. I'd love to take it to Suzuki and see the look on the mechanics face when asked to do a service :D

God thats terrifying....the handling and brakes of those things were barely adequate when they originally came out, with a top speed of 40 or so - goodness knows what it'll be like with more power! And having an accident in one doesn't bear thinking about!!!!
