Well look no further, your search is over

This actually looks absolutely bloody brilliant and great fun right up until the point where you die! God bless the lunatics on Facebook Marketplace 😀

What could possibly go wrong?

It's more a functional(?) work of art than a bicycle. Does look like fun though, assuming the engine actually works.

it's fitted with a fully rebuilt 1971 honda c70 engine thr rebuild included new head barrel and piston also a new clutch,

Its the whole Colin Furze philosophy, isn't it?

It constantly amazes me that someone just sat there one evening and thought to themselves "I know what I'm going to build....."

It does look fantastic! Theres obviously a lot of work gone into it

The throttle cable looks like it might catch on barspins.

Hoffman strapped an engine onto a bmx to ride an oversized vert ramp back in the 90s. Didn’t end well.

Is the top tube/frame in general being used to store fuel?

it looks really well engineered to me.  Decent wheels and front brake as well.

I hadn't thought I needed one, but now you've suggested it...

Rear brake lever arm is wrong though.

Its gone past 180 deg.

Should be much less than that for leverage.

I think that top tube is the fuel tank?

It does look a giggle....
