Single Sided Swingarm, Single Sided Fork...

Come accross this Honda NAS G1 (prototype obviously) and thought it was cool.

(Sorry about posting it here, it didn't really fit anywhere else and it is naked afterall...)

Ever since the day it was first shown in 1999, I've said I would buy one in a heartbeat if it ever made the dealership floors.
But, because it was 100% designed and engineered by HRA, Honda killed it.
It remains the coolest bike never made in my book.

Whoa, 1999...My bud sent me the pic and said "Look what I just came accross". You would think with digital information travelling at the speed of light that he would have received the info a little sooner than 8 years.

Yeah, here's the full Sport Rider article on it. The bike was simply stunning when it first appeared and is still drop-dead gorgeous today.
I would love to have one in my garage.
Too bad it will never happen.
