I’m not sure what that is. I’m torn between “fun as hell” and “total death trap.” Probably both. lol

I have a feeling that no matter the tire...it won't last long.

Having thought about it a bit more...the tire may outlast the new owner...probably a toss up.

You want to see craziness, go looking for Le Touquet Beach Race bikes.

This sort of lunacy of Superbikes being done up for the sand has been going on there for decades - blokes wanting to 'win' the first straight down the foreshore. I think they still get shat on by the Beach Race specialists, on real dirt bikes, but the efforts of the 'lunatic fringe' are wild to see.

I’d love to see a drag race between that and a CR500.

we have the MD dirt drags here, either a top rider on a 450 . (Bt or Cody Cooper usually) or a big road bike engined special wins the overall,

Reminds me of the street bike into the (next to the) foam pit at Pastrana's.
