Who wants a Kawasaki ZX-6R Ninja "Geometrik" edition with triangular shaped wheels? Just imagine the ride... Unfortunately, no other information on this model was found. One more picture after the jump.

does this thing really work? Doesn't look like the wheels actually turn as they should.

It has rollerblade wheels underneath, but no way to stop. (It's a very heavy scooter.)

Sorry if the rollerblade wheels thing is a fact. Assuming that its just a guess, my theory is that it works like a tank in that the wheels rotate around the rims rather than with the rims. If it does work like that, then there is no reason this can't be an actual working motorcycle.

I think this is just humor.

I dout this is a real working machine, look at the brakes.

Yeah, why would it need brake rotors and calipers if the wheels did rotate around the rims "tank" style.

I assume it's a tracks type thing also. First thing I thought, but I also don't quite see how it would be as stable or safe at all as a real bike. But interesting concept. Ugly though.

Now that I look at the second picture, it doesn't look like it. It looks like it's attached to the back wheel the same as a regular bike, which in this case, wouldn't work at all.

you people are all crazy this bike is use with a special track that rather than being flat is curved over and over like upside down waves the radius is the same as the distance of a flat part of the tire making a perfectly smooth ride with great grip its used for scientific tests

Its to small for a real bike.
Though i liked the tank theory. :)

So, I went out and bought one of these on January 2nd which celebrated the anniversary of my divorce from a hollowed out husk of a dry shrew ex-wife who made me sell my last bike.
This machine exceeded all of my performance expectations with the exception of the massive testicular and internal damage spurned by the groundbreaking wheel technology displayed above..
Regardless, the braking from the odd round shaped massive 11 inch Italian cross-drilled rotors is heart-stopping at the very least although rarely used and ornamental with normal use..
Although I've tested a lot of bikes like this, I have never enjoyed such spirited acceleration out of a motorcycle with this design without major dental discomfort.
I look forward to their future designs displayed as I visit Italy at the Quattrotrimotapezzi show in Milan next year..
I give it one and one half thumbs up as one is now slightly disfigured from a previous incident.

Just imagine all the stares you get while riding down the street on this

Guys Guys, its for use with a special type of track that has crests on it. Its related to an experiment by a proferssor with a bike that had square wheels and which he rode on such a curve road

It durn't look like the wheels have enough room to spin in the arches, judging the back wheel from behind.

Maybe it works like tank treads.

Perhaps the tread works around the wheel frame.

Wow!!! Ok, I know some of you are joking around saying that it's for super special test tracks. but some people here are still thinking its an actual motorcycle. So let me break it down for you MORONS! let me first disprove the tank track theory. The tire is a single piece of rubber, not several small units like a track system. Now if you are still confussed about this concept find a triangle piece of rubber around your house and try bending it in a circular motion, yeah see the problem, lets move on. now the crest wave theory, this one is really easy to disprove. Look at the second photograph and tell me, do you really think that 'wheel' can rotate around without hitting the back of the bike? Moral of the story, its just a cool advertising pic, so stop being a moron, get off your ass and open a friggin' book. Morons!
