I had a mate who had one of these......gotta be one of the scariest things
I've ever ridden. Ridiculous powerband + pizza cutter tyres & 16" front rim
= 'shit yer pants fun' for the whole family. Handled like crap though,
compared to my ZXR750 at the time.

Well, *if* he had put it together based on buying the parts separately
it might approach that...try $865 odd for a belly-pan last I checked.
Big jump from the $5-6k good orig ones were asking a year ago. Might be
able to justify my $5k outlay to the Mrs afterall (I learnt to ride on
Gammas so practicality was not an issue for my purchase, sentimental
more like it - still fun for sure tho'!)
