Yeah, that caught my attention too. But to be fair, there are a *few* bike model out there that don't have "conventional" front forks.

But NO WAY would I trust that with my bike.

Didn't think so. I would laugh if I saw somebody drive down the road pulling a harley with a civic. I could just see it take a sharp corner and that metal bar snap. Bye bye chrome!

I have a feeling that if someone could afford this bike they'd be towing it on a proper trailer.

that looks REAL iffy ... you might as well BUNGY your bike to your bumper if you're gonna try that.

Wow... just wow. That's the stupidest thing I've seen in a while.

There is no way, absolutely no way that you'd *not* find a resonance frequency where the bike started weaving and then eventually hurling itself to the ground when some part of the system failed.
