S T A N C E. - A New Breed of Fatboy Motorcycle: The JaFM

You’ve got your Fat Tire beer and your fat tire motorcycles, and the Motomorphic Shop must have been influenced by a couple brewsky’s when they decided to load a fat tire on both the front and back of an experimental motorbike, called the JaFM. But the craziest part is… it worked! 
While the JaFM may have a bit more tendency to standup during front trail braking, it just might be a fault you’re willing to live with if you like to standout in a crowd. Overall, the motorcycle has not only a one-of-a-kind stance, but according to the builder, handles just about as good as it looks.

Tipping the scales at a reasonable 550lbs (including 7 gallons of gas), the JaFM is powered by a Rotax V990 60 degree, four valve, 998 cc, V-Twin. The sound of this 110 horsepower (70 lb-ft of torque) beast is immense. The Rotax also includes dual overhead cams, dry sump, a big ol’ air scoop which doubles as its headlight housing, and a six-speed transmission with slipper clutch.

The bike is currently going for $100K, and is fully customizable (it ought to be at that price). The only other thing I can say, is be sure to wear a helmet. Not only does the builder say it has a few “idiosyncrasies”, without a wind screen you can expect a mouth full of bugs!
