I prefer my Japanese racing machines ... "someone with too much spare time" one did say that to me about my Battleship KG5 scratch built and no plans ... looking at that motorbike , I'd want a propeller added to it  |

Must be a sod of a machine to ride, I wouldn't like to open the throttle suddenly, could get very exciting.

How hot would the rider get?? haha! With all the weight fairly high up, I think cornering will be a problem, she will be fairly heavy to handle. As motorcyclists know, with a heavy bike you often have to force the steering in the opposite direction to get her to drop into the corner the way you want to go. I imagine it would be extreme on this girl! And then once over, you would not easily get her to right herself either!! I also wonder about gyroscopic forces with large mass engine rotating around centre of bike, then trying to get that to rotate in a corner. Throttle revving in neutral between gears while riding will have undesirable effects too!
The width on the front tyre would also resist the attempt to turn as well. Steering geometrics. NB - most front wheels on bikes are smaller profile for a reason!
