I'm surprised that a canoe without any lights, turnsignals or air bags was allowed to be street legal.
By the time lawyers and bean counters get done with this design it will get 35 MPG.
I'll bet it is a riot in Michigan winters.
But, there will be a market for it . Plenty of wing bats in Califrnia. If it meets their standards.

Taken from the article on the above link:



According to the Ebay auction, where the bike’s listed for $15,600, the “motorbike” has the following specs:
  • The engine is a 250cc liquid cooled, four stroke, DOHC 2 cylinder with a six speed transmission.
  • It weighs just 505 lbs with a .16 coefficient of drag.
  • It has 4 point seat belts, roll bar and front mounted IMPAXX crash foam as now used in NASCAR
  • The front turn signals are integrated into the rear view mirrors for aerodynamics.
  • Front headlight is a projector HID, the rest are LEDs.

It'd be a shame to end up in a state that requires a front tag ...
