It looks like it is bent at the elbow with his hand over his chest. I imagine he might be ok, but the bicyclist was probably in a world of hurt.
Can definitely appreciate the suspension travel in those forks and fuel capacity for longer rides. What is that? maybe 1/4" of travel? Shoulda just put a set of rigid forks up there.
They match the shocks that coil bind in about 1". This will be ok because your butt will be sore from the fabulous seat and your riding pants will be scorched from the exhaust.
So what you're saying is that this bike is just plain uneconomical? LOL. I pity the he/she that would ride that on a california freeway...catches insane air from a pothole and then can't save the headshake it encounters from the narrow bars and then gets run over after he/she experiences the most epic highside.
